3D Printing Technology Helps Disabilities In Developing Countries
NGO in China is helping the disabilities persons in all developing countries by creating a new technology called 3D Printing. This printing technology is developed to create a artificial legs and arms for the people who are physically disabled, the researches from University of Toronato have creating a prosthetic sockets using 3D Printing to help the people in developing countries with a less number of technician to work with 3D Printing technology.
he director of International Programs for CBM, Mr. Mitch Wilkie said, last week a 5 members of team was sent to Uganda to learn the 3D printing technology to make an pontifical sockets for disabilities. He also mentioned that we need to help as many disabilities as possible soon.
It is very hard to produce a prosthetic sockets, more than 10 people have to work together to get the success, said, Mr. Mitch Wilkie. The current technology of producing critical limb has some defects such as pain in their legs and discomfort for the users and it was made of plastic that involves mold in the sockets.
The 3D scanning and printing technology will be more accurate than the present prosthetic which would accurately fixable, Professor Matt Rato from the University of Toronto was the head for this project told, Total process will take not more than two days to create a prosthetic for a user and more over the 3D Printing and Scanning won't be more expensive training to operate.
The cost for current prosthetic was highly expensive which cost around $5,000 but according to current status the 3D Printing and scanning will be $250 in all countries and CBM will launch its first program at Uganda's CORUS Hospital.
The Canadian Government was awarded $100,000 last year for the innovative work to take further steps, now the group is starting a trial clinic to test the project with 35 patients for six months with the 3D Printing technology.
3D Printing technology was discovered 2 years ago and the researchers have been working to help the amputees in many countries, when compared to past prosthetics, 3D Printing and Scanning was more advanced. Most interesting news about the 3D Printing prosthetic will be low cost and more comfortable to patients.
