Kaecee Fitzgerald

“My introduction to the process was through

designing a multi-layered perfume bottle. It didn’t

take long to realise how else the technology could

be applied. I just fell in love with it and it has

changed my creative imagination.

I strongly believe my art must have function,

must have a purpose, and so the prospect of

working creatively in an area such as medical

modeling is thrilling … the technology elevates

this kind of work to a new level of possibility,

particularly in the provision of patient-specific

products including surgical guides, bio-scaffolding

for cell regeneration and prosthetics as individual

as one’s fingerprints."
