During the first COVID19 wave, the trust of Greater Paris academic hospitals
(Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris) faced an unprecedented situation: a
significant number of medical devices were used in extraordinary quantities
and international supply chains were defective or interrupted. To overcome the
risk of shortage, a team of health professionals and engineers settled a
central emergency 3D-printing platform. This book tells the story of this
initiative, reports its results, and proposes general guidelines for the
integration of additive manufacturing in hospitals. 3D-printing has
transformed our approach to the conception and production of the tools we use
to treat patients. For the first time in modern history, professional
production machines can be located within health institutions. 3D platforms
are extraordinary boosters of innovation, research, education, and
valorisation. Based on a particular story, this book investigates the paths
leading to innovation in public structures and proposes guidelines for the
promotion of interactions between health professionals and engineers.
