In this episode, we talk about a system developed by MIT researchers to optimize new material development and LifeNabled - a non-profit organization - that leverages 3D printing technology and generative design to develop cost-effective, bespoke prosthetics.
In this episode, we talk about a system developed by MIT researchers to optimize new material development and LifeNabled - a non-profit organization - that leverages 3D printing technology and generative design to develop cost-effective, bespoke prosthetics.
LifeNabled volunteers and designers created a fully digital workflow to produce custom 3D printed prosthetic sockets with flexible inner liners. Now, 35 patients in the jungle of Guatemala are walking on the most advanced prosthetic and orthotic devices in the world.
In this episode, we talk about the smart t-shirt that’ll track astronauts' vitals while they hang out in microgravity and a research effort that aims to study the physiology of freedivers to assist cardiac surgery patients
The applications of 3D printing span many industries, from aircraft fuel nozzles to dental aligners. Here we look at some of the most important uses of the technology.
