A clinical study led by Shi et al.

Originally reported by Bioengineer

A clinical study led by Shi et al. involving 58 patients has validated 3D-printed cranial shields using mirror-image modeling for 1:1 anatomical precision. By expanding models by 2.5mm, researchers created protective gear that significantly boosted social engagement by week 8 of recovery. This marks a systemic shift from generic templates to automated, data-driven orthotics in rehabilitation. High-fidelity customization will soon redefine standards in the $4.5B orthopedic bracing market. 🏥 #3DPrinting #MedTech #DigitalHealth #AdditiveManufacturing
