If you have ever heard about 3D printing in medicine in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the name Merim Jusufbegović is likely familiar to you. His idea and enthusiasm sparked an important conversation. When that idea reached the Verlab Institute, it gained a development framework, a partner network, and a strategic structure. Through collaborative effort, the initiative grew into the Erasmus+ project TechMed3D — with clear objectives, an international consortium, and long-term impact.
Today marks the beginning of the TechMed3D project, funded under the Erasmus+ programme. Over the next three years, the project’s focus is clear: to develop Technical Medicine as an interdisciplinary field connecting engineering, data, medicine, and 3D technologies, and to strengthen higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania.
TechMed3D introduces interdisciplinary elective courses in:
- Data-driven Decision Making
- Image-guided Medical Interventions
- Medical Modeling & Design
Special emphasis is placed on the development of personalized 3D-printed prostheses as patient-centered solutions that bridge education, research, and the real needs of the healthcare system.
Through the establishment of the TechMed3D Cluster, the project strengthens collaboration between academia, research institutions, and industry.
