Researchers develop 3D printed orthopaedic casts with improved thermal comfort

It wouldn’t be overstating the case to say that orthopaedics is a field that has been completely revolutionized by the implementation of 3D technology. The use of 3D scanning to produce an incredibly accurate virtual image of a patient’s body which is then transformed into a highly personalized 3D printed orthopaedic device is making medical professionals’ work much easier and more efficient
