3D printing and virtual reality technology to assist Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to design hospitals

Standard practice for MSF when designing a hospital involves the medical and logistical teams working around 2D drawings but following the successful testing of 3D printing and virtual reality technology, this could be a thing of the past.
Whilst both 3D printing and virtual reality technology have been on the market for some time now, adapting them to the way MSF works during the pilot phase of the project was crucial. “The idea of this project was really to see how we can make use of 3D printing technologies and virtual reality to help MSF better design our hospitals,” said Elvina Motard, MSF Technical Team Leader.
