Mein Baby 3D and In Utero 3D announce cooperation

Two young Technology - Startup Companies located in Poland and Germany announce their cooperation for giving families the opportunity to see and touch their soon to be born child.

 From an ultrasound examination to a printed model

"A new world of almost complete freedom in design is opening. This gives us the chance to "print" babies directly from the ultrasound image." (Andreas Lembach)


3D printing is the technology that is about to revolutionize the way we do business and produce goods. Major advancements are happening right now that are opening new possibilities. This is the trending topic in all the industry at the moment. It is now possible to produce single pieces of any plastic good, rather than thousand of pieces in the old fashioned injection molding. The costs are still much higher, but nobody would build an even more expensive tool just to produce one piece by injection molding. So no more million pieces of one size fits all, but your single fitted piece just for you.
Another advantage of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is that new designs can be produced. For example hollow structures with crazy outlines are possible. No more demoulding of a sturdy tool is necessary. Things that needed to be made from many pieces, can be printed now in one piece.
This new cooperation of Mein Baby 3D and IN UTERO 3D takes full advantage of these new possiblities.


"It is a whole new bonding of the whole family with its new member" (Aleksandra Witkowska-Masojć)


Many pregnant women and families know about, or experienced, the possibilities that new 3D ultrasound high resolution imaging gives. It gives the gynecologist a much better way to insure the safe and healthy growth of the child in the womb. It also gives the mother the opportunity to see the baby, almost like it is there already. It gives a good feeling about the pregnancy. This feeling can only be shared with the rest of the family, that cannot be present at the examination, via a 2D image. Only a picture of the screen image can be saved and printed in 2D. This way the 3D nature of the examination is lost. The three dimensional impression of any image on a two dimensional screen can only be captured by moving the view angle around. This is the reason some clinics offer to save a video of the examination, to get back this three dimensional impression. (sometimes called 4D).


"When I printed the first model and showed it around. The astonished reactions convinced me. I have to offer this for many families." (Andreas Lembach)


Before, it was possible for the family, to see the baby on a picture, to hear the heart in the belly. But now it can be touched an felt three dimensional. The new high resolution ultrasound machines combined with the new 3D printing technology, gives this great possibility. Now with this new technology it is possible to print a three dimensional model of the examination, showing the baby in the womb.

 "Feel" the baby!

"The blind mother can now experience her child, just like many others know it from the 2D images. Actually it is much better." (Aleksandra Witkowska-Masojć)


A special offer is the reduced price in the program: "Waiting Without Barriers". Through this program blind family members can experience the pregnancy in a whole new way. To raise funds to enable this program the idea was born to offer printed babies for everyone.


"Newly mothers tend to be quite nervous about the pregnancy. The use of Baby Models helps to be more concisions about the unborn child." (local gynecologist)


 Of course this new possibility is exciting for pregnant mothers, but maybe even more exciting for the rest of the family. Typically not everybody is allowed or has the chance to be present at the examination and see the baby on the screen in 3D. By making the 3D print of the examination the mother can share this experience with the whole family.

Think of grandparents that cannot wait to see the baby. Think of fathers that would love to hold the baby in their hands. Just to get a feeling of the excitement the mother has. Think of bigger brothers and sisters, that maybe don't even welcome the new baby yet. Give them the chance to "meet" the new member of the family and you will see how things change for the better.
