#3DStartup: Bone3D, 3D printing for surgery

While 3D technologies are progressing in the medical sector, with an annual growth rate of 35% according to the SME association, some players are doing well by presenting concrete and innovative applications. This is the case with the French startup Bone3D, which uses 3D printing to create custom surgical guides and surgical simulators so that doctors can practice before each operation. Maintaining a very close relationship with the medical profession, the French startup can offer solutions adapted to the reality of each specialist’s profession, whether it is a dentist, podiatrist, neurosurgeon, etc. We met Jérémy Adam, the founder of Bone3D, to learn more about the process of creating these 3D printed guides and the advantages of such technology in the surgical sector.

3DN: Can you introduce yourself and your link to 3D printing?

Jérémy Adam

I am Jeremy ADAM, founder of Bone3D. My link with 3D printing comes from my studies, after a master’s degree in medical bioengineering, I wrote my PhD’s thesis on a titanium 3D printed mesh. It was to treat the bones of patients with certain types of cancer.

Set on medical 3D printing, I wanted to create a French startup that could offer the best of this technology to as many patients as possible! Today, we are fortunate to work with reference world centres for rare diseases, CHUs throughout France and a few hospitals abroad.
