In a nutshell, the lead author (me) was seeking access and assistance, trying to convert the CT scan data into a useable 3D printed surgical template. I was in over my head, (as I knew nothing of 3D printing at the time). Clifford Smith and Larry Trowell offered to help out, and invited me to Freeside to learn more about 3D printing, and troubleshoot a few solutions. The end result was a genuine collaboration between Medical Researchers and a local Hackerspace.<div><br></div><div>The folks over at Makerbot were very please to see it work out well, and because we used a Makerbot TOM for our initial prototypes, they wrote a little blog entry about it <a href="http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2012/06/12/surgeon-finds-big-savings-with-makerbot-3d-printing/">http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2012/06/12/surgeon-finds-big-savings-with-makerbot-3d-printing/</a></div><div><br></div><div>I have since become a little more involved with Freeside as a member now and continue to work on a few more research related projects at the space. Many Freesiders dabble in hacking/making in our free time, but most members are in the tech job sector anyhow. It is tough to argue for university assistance, unless you are tied directly into the academic institution itself. Grant proposals and such also take a lot of time. With Freeside, they had a lot of the technology at hand, and were super-eager to share their knowledge and push things forward. We didn't have to ask for permission or schedule access to university equipment. We just grabbed a cup of coffee and got to work.</div><div><br></div><div>I am, however, pursuing a research fellowship at the University of Arizona (Tucson) in the coming year, after residency is over, and I wanted to link up University resources with the local hacker community and hopefully put together some ideas. If anyone knows someone from the Arizona Hacking scene, I'd love to be in touch.</div><div><br></div><div>The date of publication is in the header of the article itself. Not all journals follow an annual release cycle, so they use Volume number, Issue number, etc. This article was published in May 2012. I'm not quite certain what you mean by "redaction" in this instance...</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
