Acronym: Virtual AM Storage Covid-19

Coordinator: Wroclaw University of Science and Technology

Partners: J. Gromkowski Provincial Specialist Hospital in Wrocław

Duration: 2020 – 2021

Funding: NCBR, “Support for covid-hospitals in the fight against the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and in the treatment of COVID-19”, 2020-2021, financed by Polish National Centre for Research and Development

Objective: The main goal of the project was to develop a method of immediate incremental production of spare parts and alternative medical equipment and personal protective equipment in a dispersed environment in crisis situations, including research and development work for the prevention of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This will allow us to shorten the waiting time for a product to less than 12 hours from the moment the need arises, including designing a 3D model.

As a result of the project, a pilot version of the digital platform was created (http://med3d.szpital.wroc.pl/), , representing the developed technology and containing a knowledge base in the form of Instructions for Use and Manufacturing of the analyzed demonstrators.

Acronym: BIOAddMed 

Coordinator: Wroclaw University of Science and Technology

Duration: 2019 – 2021

Funding:  NCBR, Lider, 0098/L-9/2017

Objective: The aim of the project is to adapt additive manufacturing technology for production of individualized medical products in the form of drug delivery systems, based on polymeric biomaterials (cellulose derivatives), for applications in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Results of the AddMed project is a process innovation – a complex manufacturing technology for personalized drug delivery systems, including preparation of nanocomposite filament and it’s processing using additive manufacturing process, up to the point when final products are ready for clinical research.

Acronym: BIOIMPLANT 

Coordinator: Warsaw University of Technology (WUT)

Partners: Oncology Center – Institute of Marie Curie; Wroclaw University of Science and Technology; Warsaw Medical University

Duration: 2010 – 2014

Funding:  NCBiR – Operational Program Innovative Economy 2007-2013, Priority 1. – research and development of modern technologies (POIG.01.01.02-00-022/09)

Objective: The project aim was to develop a therapy for patients after tumor removal in the craniomaxillofacial area. The proposed solution involves new implants, which geometry restores original shapes of patients’ facial bones, what is hard to achieve by manual procedures with autologous bone or synthetic graft substitute. The implants will be scaffolds – tissue-supporting structures, filled with stem cells (from fat tissue), growth factors and antibiotics.
