The Next Generation of Orthopedic Precision Medicine - Point-of-Care 3D Printed Exoskeletons
Additive manufacturing is going digital - disrupting the orthopedic market with next-generation 3-Dimensional body scanning, custom design and 3D printing fabrication system. 3D printers enable providers to create bespoke devices at the point-of-care, fitted precisely to every individual's unique body map, and customized for each patient's unique injury or condition, use case, and lifestyle, quickly and affordably. iPhone SDK has put full-color digital scanning capability into everyone's pockets, and automated cloud-based software gives orthopedic providers market-proven custom design capability. New material options don't hold patients back from basic hygiene practices like showering and sanitizing their hands, or from active lifestyle activities like swimming, sweating, or getting dirty. Already in use by top hospitals like Mayo Clinic and St. Luke's Medical Centers, and by Olympic and NFL team physicians, the digital casting revolution has already begun.
