Feature: 3D facial technology changes a man's life
Update: 2025-11-10
Description
Going out in public became dreadfully uncomfortable for 75-year-old Dave Richards after an accident with a drunk driver four years ago in Devon, England. His bike got caught under the car, dragging him on the asphalt, tearing away much of his face, nose and neck. Surgeons had to remove his eye and cover the damaged area with a skin graft. The accident that nearly took his life, took his confidence until a team of experts at the Bristol 3D Medical Centre stepped in. Using advanced 3D scanning, design, and printing, they are rebuilding Dave Richards' face. Misha Newnham is one of the reconstructive scientists at the first of its kind centre in the UK. She explains this remarkable new technology and how it's pushing the boundaries of reconstructive medicine.
