Dave Richards, at his home in Budliegh Salterton, Devon. As part of his treatment, Dave received a 3D prothesis that fits the space on his face and mimics his hair colour, eye colour and skin. // A cyclist injured by a drunk driver is the first to benefit from a unique NHS body parts printing centre - that built him a 3D face. Dave Richards, 75, was 'lucky to survive' the crash which damaged his back and pelvis and saw him break multiple ribs on one side of his body. He also received full thickness burns to the side of his face including his eye, nose and part of his neck. During his recovery, he was referred to Reconstructive Prosthetics, which has just opened The Bristol 3D Medical Centre. It is the first of its kind in the UK to have 3D scanning, design and printing of this kind in a single NHS location. The centre, based in Frenchay, Bristol, provides scientific and technical support to trauma patients through state-of-the-art digital technology and specialist reconstructive expertise. Dave, from Devon, was able to use the services at the centre after the accident. Photo released 27/10/2025
