𝗚𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲: 𝗩𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗕. 𝗦𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘇, 𝗕𝗠𝗧 — the Biomedical Artificer of ADMAM3D! ⚙️🖨️🧠

Specs: Biomedical Engineer by profession, Medical Equipment Technician by title — master of calibration, keeper of tolerances, guardian of every nozzle, motor, and circuit that breathes life into medical prints. The printers do not argue. They do not resist. They only respond to his beckon. Because let’s be real — Only Vorict Touches my Plate.

From filament to form, slicer to plate, he commands machines like they were built for his hands alone. When layers falter, he realigns fate. When prints fail, he rewrites the outcome. ADMAM3D runs smooth, precise, and powerful because the printers listen — and Vorict answers. ⚡🔧🧬

Today, we celebrate the man who turns digital designs into healing realities, breakdowns into breakthroughs, and 3D printers into obedient extensions of his will. Happy Birthday, Vorict! May your layers stay flawless, your calibrations true, and your plates forever touched by you. ADMAM3D stands strong, one perfect layer at a time. ✨⚙️🖨️

A warm welcome was extended to our visitors from TÜV SÜD last February 02, 2026.

ZCMC ADMAM3D was honored to have hosted a courtesy visit from Mr. Robert Fröhlich (Vice President, MHS ASEAN, Australia and New Zealand), Mr. Roy Ramos (Auditor and Medical Health Services Regional Manager), and Mr. Christian Paul B. Arellano (Business Development and Sales Executive).

The visit, held from 12:00 to 2:00 PM at the Office of the Medical Center Chief Conference Room, Zamboanga City Medical Center, served as an opportunity to personally connect, reaffirm continued support, and strengthen professional collaboration. Productive discussions focused on healthcare excellence, patient safety, testing requirements, and future plans for certification.

The meeting was led by Dr. Maria Monique Theresita M. Soliven, OIC Unit Head of ADMAM3D, with the presence of Dr. Afdal B. Kunting, Medical Center Chief, alongside Dr. Norvie T. Jalani of PETRO Research and Dr. Germeyn Punzalan of the Ethics Committee.

Last January 26, 2026, ZCMC ADMAM3D had the pleasure of welcoming visitors from Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) for a courtesy visit.

ZCMC ADMAM3D was honored to host the BIOCHAP Research Team of MSU-IIT, led by Dr. Ronald P. Bual, Project Leader, together with their study leaders, engineers, technical specialists, assistants, and administrative staff.

The visit served as an opportunity to explore potential collaboration under MSU-IIT’s DOST-funded research initiatives. Discussions covered two research directions, including the development of hydroxyapatite and chitosan–hydroxyapatite biocomposite scaffolds from Charru mussel shell waste, as well as an advanced extracellular matrix-based marine patch derived from fish processing wastes for nutraceutical and biomedical applications. Possible areas of collaboration were discussed, particularly in product application testing, validation, and translational pathways relevant to clinical and advanced manufacturing use.

The meeting was held at ADMAM3D Laboratory, Zamboanga City Medical Center, with the participation of representatives from various ZCMC clinical units, including Surgery, ORL-HNS, Orthopedics, OB-Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Pathology & Laboratory, reflecting a strong multidisciplinary engagement.

We thank the MSU-IIT BIOCHAP Research Team for the meaningful exchange and look forward to future collaboration in advancing biomedical research, innovation, and patient-centered healthcare solutions.

𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱: 𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘇 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 ✨

With calm hands and a clear mind, she does the kind of work that changes outcomes and lives. In the operating room and in ADMAM3D, she shows up the same way, thoughtful, precise, and deeply human. She takes complex problems, gives them structure, and somehow makes the impossible feel manageable 🩺🖨️

She builds in layers, heals with intention, and leads without needing the spotlight. And somehow, everything she touches comes out better than it started because she does it all with care.

Today is for the Hearth of ADMAM3D 🔥
May this next chapter feel like something golden, steady, and fully yours ✨

A wrap on an unforgettable RSTW 2025! ✨

From the vibrant energy of Day 1 to the inspiring finale of Day 3, Team ADMAM3D is leaving with full hearts and a reinforced mission.

As the 2025 RSTW - HANDA Pilipinas Mindanao Leg concludes, we reflect on an unforgettable Day 3, a day where technology truly met its purpose. The energy at our booth was incredible, but the real highlight was sharing how our work changes lives.

Days 1 and 2 were all about connection, inspiring young minds, and forging synergies with fellow DOST institutions at our booth. But Day 3 truly sealed the purpose behind our passion.

The pinnacle was witnessing our leader, Maria Monique Theresita M. Soliven, MD, MPH, DPBOHNS, take the center stage to share ADMAM3D's vision. Her powerful presentation on “DRIVING SMART TECHNOLOGY TOWARD RESILIENT, SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES THROUGH HEALTHCARE” went beyond concepts; it showcased real impact.

At ADMAM3D, our cutting-edge medical 3D printing does more than create models—we print confidence. We don’t just build medical devices; we build hope. Through our patient-specific 3D-printed implants and surgical guides, we’re honored to play a part in helping individuals reclaim their lives, their function, and yes, their smiles. 😊

Thank you to every visitor, partner, and future innovator who shared this journey. Your belief fuels our commitment to a healthier, happier Bagong Pilipinas.

The event may be over, but our drive to innovate? That’s permanently printed in our core.
