Jorge Lopes, a professor and researcher at the Department of Design of the Brazilian university PUC-Rio, is a pioneer in the realm of medical science both in Brazil and on the international stage. His groundbreaking work at the Biodesign Laboratory, in collaboration with Dr. Heron Werner, is reshaping the landscape of medical research and education by harnessing the power of cutting-edge 3D technologies.
The Biodesign Laboratory has three distinct areas of focus, each with a unique purpose and far-reaching implications for the medical field. These areas encompass a 3D Bioprinting Laboratory, a Virtual Reality Simulation Laboratory, and an Additive Manufacturing Laboratory, in which the Raise3D Pro3 3D printer is an important tool.

3D Printing Allows for a Better Understanding of Fetal Development
Professor Jorge Lopes and Dr. Heron Werner’s pioneering study has spearheaded the incorporation of state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies in the field of fetal research, an area that lacks comprehensive three-dimensional modeling studies.
The revolutionary aspect of their work lies in the creation of 3D models that faithfully mirror the physical characteristics of the developing fetus. This newfound precision allows medical practitioners to better visualize and comprehend the complex anatomical structures and physiological changes occurring during gestation. Beyond education, the impact of 3D fetal modeling extends to the realm of clinical practice. Medical professionals can employ these models for preoperative planning, enhancing the accuracy of surgical procedures and minimizing risks. Such applications have the potential to revolutionize prenatal interventions and improve outcomes for both mothers and infants.
In addition to fetal medicine, the Biodesign Laboratory’s projects extend to many medical specialties, such as neurology, cardiology, orthopedics, transplantation, and others.
