Blog Objet 3D printing helps doctors provide medical treatment for children
Join Objet Geometries and Dr. Mike North of Miracle Feet for a webinar discussing how Miracle Feet utilized Objet's Connex 3D printer to help create corrective braces for children with clubfoot. Rapid prototyping with the Connex 3D Printer played a big role in developing the optimal brace design. There are currently 1 million untreated cases of clubfoot in the world — 175,000 new cases a year — with limited affordable solutions.
