Dr. Williams Discusses Advances in Clinical Orthotics Through 3D Printing Technology
Bruce Williams, DPM, FAAPSM presented critical insights on how 3D Printing Technology is disrupting the manufacturing industry; and custom orthotics are no exception. He explains that the classic method of orthotics manufacturing involves taking a cast, filling with plaster to make the mold, and then removing/subtracting material throughout the process. Additive manufacturing, which is where 3D printing comes in, involves less waste, less use of materials and can control cost in comparison. He shared key differences in 3D printing directly from one’s office versus using a...
