managing any complex cases because the MeG3rD innovation
replicates the actual medical.
He said it was not only capable of replicating a complex pathology
(defect organs) but also developing a texture that was almost
identical to simulate a more realistic anatomical structure. He said
it was because the raw materials used were tailored to the needs
of the doctors, and the 3D printing replicates the complexity of
the defect organ (pathology) with a 1:1 ratio. “These factors can
increase confidence in managing any complex cases because the
MeG3rD innovation replicates the actual medical.
MeG3rD innovation replicates the actual medical procedure,
allowing the doctors to experience performing the procedure as
if it was done on the actual patient,” he said.
He said the technology would allow doctors to achieve a
better and safer treatment outcome and reduce medical
complications. Prof. Dr. Ahmad Sobri also said that MeG3rD
could be used in the surgical or angiography room and with the
actual medical equipment thus, making it suitable for the invivo
environment in pre-planning medical treatment procedures
for simple or complex procedures. The research began in 2014
and was continued under the UPM InnoHub programme to
commercialise the project.
Market validation has been carried out and managed to sell
minimal viable product (MVP) in 2017. “We are now ready to
scale up this product to penetrate the Asean market,” he said. -
