Dream Come True: How Two Australian Dentists 3D Printed A Fix For Apnea

Some 34 men out of 100 suffer from sleep apnea, and Dr. Christopher Hart was one of them. The condition, which is much less frequently diagnosed in women, blocks the airways and causes people to temporarily stop breathing. It also can jolt them awake several times during the night. The most common treatment involves a method called Continuous Positive Airways Pressure or CPAP, which requires sleeping with a bedside pump that forces air through a mask worn over the mouth and nose.

Dream come true: an Australian sleep-apnoea solution

From a bed of the softest titanium powder, 60 silvery air pipes emerge, perfectly formed by an electron-beam 3D printer. Each hollow harbinger of peaceful breathing is specifically shaped to fit the bite and feed the airways of one person suffering obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
This is the story of how Dr Christopher Hart, a sleep-deprived Australian dentist, collaborated with CSIRO, the nation’s innovation enabler, to lift the snorer’s curse for himself and for thousands, perhaps soon to be hundreds of thousands, of others.

A roadmap for Australian smart cities

July 28, 2016
Australia’s cities are celebrated as fine places to inhabit, with our capitals regularly jostling with each other for top spots on worldwide liveability lists. However, the sprawl of a few large centres puts pressure on everything: roads and transportation; housing, offices and cultural hubs; energy, water and overall sustainability; convenience; safety and, ultimately, liveability.

How CSIRO and GE are shaping our future

July 14, 2016
CSIRO and GE share common goals: to shape the future and deliver solutions that make a difference. Both organisations are rapidly harnessing digital technologies to enable new approaches and momentous discovery through data mining. At the same time, digitisation is driving organisational transformation at the national science agency and the multinational corporation alike.

Ambition on the agenda at D61+LIVE

April 07, 2016
It had all the wonder of the Royal Easter Show, but with science and technology taking the place of animals and rides. There were robots, drones, models, modelling, a mammoth mobile emergency-services integrated-communications truck and, on the main stage, a grand parade of inspiring minds and ambitious ideas. (Oh, and there were food stations serving pulled-pork tacos, steamed dumplings, noodle boxes and mini Wagyu beef burgers—streets ahead of the usual sideshow fare.)

All aboard Australia’s coolest laboratory

October 09, 2015
When she’s in her pretty-as-a-picture home port of Hobart, the research vessel Investigator, with her bright blue-white-and-green livery, poses a pleasing juxtaposition between old mariners and cutting-edge marine science; her three giant radar bulbs are silhouetted against the sky, high above the rigging of tall ships berthed nearby in Constitution Dock.

The data dashboard working to protect the Great Barrier Reef

August 14, 2015
In a world where the power and possibilities of data are everywhere, waiting to be unlocked and put to work, the Great Barrier Reef’s eReefs project is a compelling example of how government and industry can collaborate to develop tools that help explore and exploit that data.
