Led · Seed · Jan 2017
SiMMo3D develops and supplies anatomically accurate, 3D-printed organ models called "Teaching Tissues" for surgical planning, biomedical research, and education. The models are printed from MRI and CT scan data and use synthetic polymer resin to mimic the texture and visual aesthetic of human tissue. SiMMo3D operates on-site at the Temple Health and Bioscience District (THBD) laboratory facility, using multiple 3D printers with multiple colors and materials; custom orders are available. Founded in 2016, the company emphasizes affordability and accessibility to shift medical training toward tactile learning and better prepare students, surgeons, and researchers. Financially, SiMMo3D launched with a $20,000 seed grant from the city-supported THBD incubator. The company highlights that its replicas can simulate rare and complex disease states that are otherwise difficult to source, enabling larger-scale hands-on training.
