An Interdisciplinary Collaboration to Evaluate the Implementation of 3D Design and Printing Technology on Prosthetic Availability, User Value, and Commercial Viability

Made at Radford University

This project took advantage of three convergent trends: the emergence of low-cost 3D design software and fabrication, the increasing adoption of the “lean startup” approach in modeling new ventures, and the economic cost of healthcare in the U.S. is development of alternative, affordable services and products to provide access for both served and un-served patient populations.
