(Built In Chicago) — VisMed-3D was founded in 2014 by Dima Elissa with medical applications as the focal point of the business. It is now one of 60 healthcare startups located at Matter, a health tech incubator space in the Chicago Merchandise Mart. The self-funded consulting and research startup is focusing on 3D-printing technology that will help surgeons, healthcare providers and universities create physical replicas for state-of-the-art treatment and training purposes. Patients undergo pre-surgery MRI scans that are digitally combined into 3D images and printed.
VisMed-3D is working with material scientists in Chicago, on the East Coast and abroad to be the first to market with a medical-use filament. VisMed-3D works closely with hardware accelerator Catalyze Chicago in addition to UI Labs for access to tools, hardware, and equipment for prototyping.
