Pearl of the Day 9/9/14 “3D printing is an emerging technology that is primarily used for aiding the design and prototyping of implants. As this technology has evolved it has now become possible to produce functional and definitive implants manufactured using a 3D printing process. This process, however, previously required a large financial investment in complex machinery and professionals skilled in 3D product design. Our pilot studys aim was to design and create a 3D printed custom orthopaedic implant using only freely available consumer hardware and software.” DIY 3D Printing of Custom Orthopaedic Implants: A Proof of Concept Study.
