Transporting a 3D printer on a busy train can lead to more than you might imagine!
As luck would have it Alex Berry met Rose Brooke, Editor of ‘European Plastic Processors’ Magazine, on a chance encounter on a train into London. Intrigued about what Alex was carrying, Rose asked him for some more information. Alex explained the fascinating story of Sutrue to her, which resulted in Rose writing this great article below!

TCT has become one of the UK’s leading 3D printing events, so we were delighted to have been asked to speak at the prestigious show. Alex Berry, founder of Sutrue, discussed how the mechanism in the Sutrue suturing device works, how costs were kept down using 3D printing and the use of some creative parts sourcing which involved the use of tongue and eyebrow piercings.
