The Next Time You Break A Limb, Ask For A 3D-Printed Exoskeleton [PICS]
01 Jul 2013 by Jasmine Stone in Health, Tech/Sci
Say goodbye to the traditional plaster cast. This new 3D printed cast designed by Jake Evill looks amazingly badass, and has the added benefit of accessibility in the event of an itch. The Cortex Exoskeleton is lighter, stronger, and more supportive than traditional casts applied to broken limbs.
The custom-made Cortex Exoskeleton combines the X-ray with a 3D scan of the broken limb.
The 3D printed cast is waterproof, so the wearer can bath with it on, and is also slim enough to be warn under a shirt. The cast takes three hours to print, but needs no time to set.
