Our history

Mecuris is a medical technology start-up that was founded in 2016 as a spin-off from the University Hospital Munich (LMU).

The idea behind Mecuris originally arose from two different research projects: Jannis Breuninger researched additively manufactured prostheses and prosthetic feet at the Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart. Dr. Simon Weidert, on the other hand, worked on orthoses from the 3D printer at the University of Munich Hospital. The aim of both projects was to individualize and digitize the creation of orthopedic aids - Time-saving, high quality, reimbursable and above all as a real asset to the life of the wearer.
