PolyUnity

What PolyUnity does

PolyUnity Tech Inc. is a Canadian healthcare technology company founded in 2018 by three physicians who previously ran the MUNMed3D Network delivering 3D printers to remote medical locations in Newfoundland and Labrador. The company offers Additive Manufacturing as a Service (AMaaS) to hospitals, pediatric centers, and health networks, packaged through its cloud-based i3D.Health portal, a digital inventory of 500+ validated healthcare products, on-site or regional 3D printing facilities ("Agile Production"), and embedded professional services covering design, validation, and facility management. The company has its headquarters in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (newly opened November 2025), and operates across Canada with named customers including CHEO, Horizon Health Network, Nova Scotia Health, Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services, and Newborn Screening Ontario.

The business model is a managed services subscription sold primarily through multi-year enterprise agreements with public healthcare organizations. Distribution is dominated by direct enterprise field sales supplemented by the CAN Health Network's National RFP channel, OBIO's Early Adopter Health Network, and regional partners such as Horizon Health Network, which acts as the preferred printing and distribution partner for mainland Atlantic Canada. Reported outcomes from the CHEO evaluation include 200+ new innovations, 1,281 products delivered, 460 equipment pieces repaired, and an estimated $28 saved for every $1 spent; comparable quantified outcomes are documented at NL Health Services (3-day discharge reduction) and medical laboratory customers (5-10 minute time savings per experiment).

Beyond point-of-care medical parts, PolyUnity is expanding into adjacent product lines through a 2026 NGen-funded Automated Additive Manufacturing in Healthcare (A2MH) project with Mosaic Manufacturing and Myant Corp targeting custom orthotics and prosthetics (sub-12-hour lead times, >50% cost reduction, <5% material waste), an antimicrobial filament (PolyAura) co-developed with Polyamyna, and a virtual care device partnership with Fonemed. AI capability is at the partnership stage through Genesis AI Garage for design, quality, regulatory, and logistics optimization rather than embedded in production today.

Core offering

PolyUnity provides healthcare organizations with a fully managed Additive Manufacturing as a Service (AMaaS) solution delivered through the i3D.Health platform. The offering combines a cloud-based portal with a digital library of validated 3D-printable parts, Agile Production (locally managed 3D printing facilities with equipment, materials, software, and support), and Professional Services covering design, validation, testing, and project management. Customers are able to design, access, and produce medical parts and devices on-demand, replacing traditional procurement with digital inventory and point-of-care 3D printing.

Product overview

PolyUnity offers a unified Additive Manufacturing as a Service (AMaaS) platform called i3D.Health, which consists of multiple integrated modules. The core platform includes a cloud-based i3D Healthcare Portal for catalog access, ordering, and workflow management; a Digital Inventory module providing a validated library of 3D printable healthcare products; and Agile Production services for localized on-demand manufacturing. Professional Services support product design, validation, and facility management. The company also offers PolyAura, an antimicrobial 3D printing filament developed with partner Polyamyna. Together, these components enable healthcare organizations to design, access, and produce medical parts and products on-demand, replacing traditional procurement with digital inventory and local 3D printing.
