3D printed orthopedic cast with modular recovery system
组别:
CASTomize is
a 3D printed orthopedic cast with modular recovery system, revolutionized by a
group of students from Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD)
and Singapore Management University (SMU). The minimalist design eliminates the
painstaking issues of the decade long unchanged plaster and fiberglass casts.
Problems like not being waterproof, having insufficient ventilation and being
bulky proved to be a unanimous hindrance to past patients. Enhancing the basic
function of the cast, CASTomize introduces a system that speeds up the fracture
recovery process too. The students team is currently undergoing further
research studies to overcome limitations of the manufacturing process, before
further trials to validate it as a commercial product.
