One of London’s most prolific early-adopters of 3D Printing technology, Dr Andrew Dawood was awarded with the ‘Global Inspirational Individual Award’ at the 3D Awards Ceremony. The awards ceremony is a spectacular annual event with a global reach, open to anyone; professional or hobbyist, individual, team or business, contributing to the world of 3D printing.
Andrew Dawood has been pioneering the use of 3D printing in dental implant treatments at Dawood & Tanner Specialist Dental Practice in London since 1999. 3D printing plays an essential role in planning and treatment for a patient requiring advanced implant and reconstructive surgery and prosthetics. Dr Dawood is a leader in the use and development of 3D printing for advanced surgical planning and reconstruction.
Extending out from implant and digital dentistry to become active in areas of surgical planning including complex maxillofacial problems and orthopaedic applications, he is both an ambassador for 3D printing in medicine and an educator, calling for the medical profession to understand the need for research and development to fully unleash the potential of this technology.
Andrew saw the potential of 3D printing as a tool for design and development, which could be made available to a wider set of disciplines. In 2008 Andrew launched the 3D printing and digitisation company Digits2Widgets, taking this extraordinary technology to areas outside of the medical field – from architecture and engineering to art and fashion. Andrew is unique because of his wide breadth of interest, knowledge and skills, and more importantly, his love for invention.
