Peter Llewelyn Evans, Maxillofacial Laboratory Services Manager, Maxillofacial Laboratory
Presentation title: The Application of 3D Printing in Head and Neck Reconstruction
Peter’s career started studying Maxillofacial Prosthetics in London in 1987. He moved to South Wales to join the Welsh Craniofacial Implant Team in 1989, a team that pioneered the use of Craniofacial Implants at St Lawrence Hospital, Chepstow. The Unit relocated to Morriston Hospital, Swansea in 1998 where he is the manager of the Maxillofacial Laboratory Services.
His main areas of interest include facial prosthetics for children, craniofacial implantology and 3D modelling and imaging. He has published extensively on the use of digital technology in Maxillofacial surgery and technology and in particular on the integration of digital technologies into facial prosthetics. Peter has also lectured in the UK and worldwide.
Peter is a fellow of the IMPT, founder member of the British Facial and Audiological Implant Group (BFAIG), a founder member and Secretary of the Centre for Applied Technology in Surgery (CARTIS) and Secretary to the Advanced Digital Technologies (ADT) Foundation.
Dr Sophie Cox, Associate Professor in Healthcare Technologies, University of Birmingham
Presentation title: Moving additive manufacturing beyond anatomically customised implants
Sophie is an Associate Professor in healthcare technologies at the University of Birmingham and leads the Centre for Custom Medical Devices. Her research focuses on exploiting additive manufacturing for the production of personalised metallic implants to replace or regenerate skeletal tissues. The team predominantly works on developing strategies to add functionality through surface modification or modification of device designs. In this talk she shall share three case studies to highlight that we may merge the design freedoms of 3d printing with biomaterials advancements to move custom medical devices into a new era that delivers additional patient benefits.
