Delta Additive Manufacturing

Godfrey C. Onwubolu, PhD, MSc, BEng, FBCS, CEng, P.Eng

Dr. Godfrey Onwubolu started his engineering 3D printing career in 2013 and his healthcare 3D printing career at Delta Additive Manufacturing (DAM) Inc. in 2016, where he founded the company which focuses on providing digital solutions to the medical, dental, and orthotics & prosthetics sectors. He was responsible for developing all the workflows used for the dental and orthotics & prosthetics applications. He received hands-on training in Materialise Training Certificate, Mimics Innovation Suite, Plymouth USA for medical image reconstruction; as well as Stratasys 3D Production Systems Training, Canada where he learnt 3D printing. In 2016, he was involved in a ‘Sunday Project’ which provided artificial arms to someone in a developing country who lost his two hands due to a fatal accident; an opportunity to give back in the area of orthotics & prosthetics. In 2019, he later co-founded with two other colleagues, the Centre for Rehabilitation & Health Services, CREHS Inc. a company in Brampton, Ontario that operated as a state-of-the-art digital laboratory and provided digital healthcare solutions, where he was the President/CEO and Technical Director; involved in research and innovations; and educating/training professionals in the healthcare industry. A blend of academia and industry, he previously worked in the manufacturing industry in Midlands, region of central England; held Professorship position in Advanced Manufacturing; and currently a Professor at Sheridan Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, Brampton. He focuses on application of Additive Manufacturing to Biomedical & Reverse Engineering. His doctorate degree in computer-aided design, CAD coupled with his practical experience in additive manufacturing, has leveraged the work he does in healthcare 3D printing. Recipient of the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) Publications Award in 3D-printing, Dr. Onwubolu is an invited speaker in local conferences such as Digital Dentistry Summit, and Spectrum Day Toronto, here in Canada; he is internationally connected with the academic community, and serves on different academic publication boards. He is a Professional Engineer, and a Chartered Engineer. He is a member of the SME Healthcare Additive Manufacturing Advisory Team in USA, one of the leading groups that oversee the practice of medical additive manufacturing in North America. In 2021, Dr. Godfrey Onwubolu, was given the opportunity to join SprintRay as a SprintRay Key Opinion Leader (KOL) and advisor due to his usage and expertise in using SprintRay 3D printing in dentistry. He is convinced that the potential of additive manufacturing for the healthcare sector is the future.
