Modular, 3D-printed medical composite units
This project focuses on the design and development of lightweight, modular medical units using advanced 3D printing technologies. Building on previous concepts of 3D printed habitats, the units will incorporate self-healing composite materials to increase durability and lifespan. Designed for rapid deployment, the medical modules must be compact and lightweight enough to be transported by small helicopters, making them ideal for use in remote areas, disasters or extreme environments. The project is in line with the broader goals of the Knowledge Angels xMEDs project, which aims to push the boundaries of deployable healthcare infrastructure.
