Design and Manufacturing 3D Printed Cast For A Broken Bone

3D printed casts can be used for broken bones as an alternative to traditional plaster casts. The document discusses designing and manufacturing a 3D printed cast for a broken bone. It provides an overview of 3D printing processes like FDM technology, where a printing head draws the desired shape by moving in the X and Y axes while the build platform moves down layer by layer in the Z direction. The 3D printed cast is customized to the patient's bone and can be made quickly and cheaply to set the broken bone without the drawbacks of traditional plaster casts.
