The Lattice (Official 3DHEALS Podcast)Author: 3DHEALS
Welcome to the Lattice podcast, the official podcast for 3DHEALS. This is where you will find fun but in-depth conversations (by founder Jenny Chen) with technological game-changers, creative minds, entrepreneurs, rule-breakers, and more. The conversations focus on using 3D technologies, like 3D printing and bioprinting, AR/VR, and in silico simulation, to reinvent healthcare and life sciences. This podcast will include AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions, interviews, select past virtual event recordings, and other direct engagements with our Tribe.While there is no rule for our podcast content, the only rule we follow is to provide our listeners with a maximized return on their attention and time investment.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @3dheals, and check out the links in the show notes. 3DHEALS Links: https://linktr.ee/3dheals DisclaimerThe content of this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute medical, legal, or financial advice.

Episode#126|Biomaterials Frontier for Medical 3D Printing (Virtual Event Recording)
Episode 126
Sunday, 13 September, 2026
The real frontier in medical 3D printing isn't the printer — it's the material. In this 3DHEALS panel, five researchers, founders, and industry leaders map the shift from printing structure to printing function, and from lab-stage novelty toward regulated, investment-grade material systems spanning soft bioresins, bioactive ceramics, and titanium lattices.Fabian Trumper (Arrakis Bio) argues that the best biomaterials are the ones our bodies already make, and explains how his team bio-manufactures True Human Collagen at industrial scale. Prof. Kamal Choudhary (Johns Hopkins) shows why AI is reshaping materials discovery — a "ChatGPT for materials scientists" — and why so much of the field still isn't reproducible. Dr. Andrew Weems (Resilient Medical) shares how a 3D-printed scaffold could finally modernize lumpectomy surgery for breast cancer patients. Ebrahim Yarali (MERLN, Maastricht University) reveals how geometry alone — architected "meta-biomaterials" and 4D printing — can steer stem cells toward bone or cartilage. And Dr. Scott Taylor (Poly-Med) breaks down absorbable polymers that dissolve into the body once healing is done. Moderated by Craig Rosenblum, President of Himed.In this episode:Human vs. synthetic biomaterials — and what cells actually "notice"AI-designed materials and the reproducibility crisisDesigning devices for the surgery we already do4D printing and geometry as a biological signalA live debate: can AI and lab models replace animal testing?Whether you're a researcher, founder, or investor, this is a fast, opinionated tour of where medical materials are heading next.🎥 Watch the full session and explore more 3DHEALS events: https://3dheals.com/biomaterials-frontier/00:00:00 - Welcome And 3D Heals Missions00:01:58 - Event Setup And Sponsor Context00:04:08 - Absorbable Polymers And Degradation Design00:10:07 - Pore Size And Surface Area Effects00:12:40 - True Human Collagen For Regeneration00:23:08 - Collagen Q&A On Regulation00:28:58 - AI Tools For Materials Discovery00:41:35 - AI Limits Data And Loop Closure00:50:31 - Lumpectomy Scaffolds And Go To Market01:01:47 - Academia Versus Startup Mindset01:10:13 - Geometry Driven Bone Regeneration Scaffolds01:24:11 - Acoustic Responsive And 4D Biomaterials01:31:08 - Panel Debate On Animal Testing01:37:39 - AI Hype Real Impact And Wish List01:46:51 - Final Takeaways And ClosingSend us Fan MailSupport the showSubscribe to our premium version and support the show.
