See How 3D Printing Helped in the Medical Cure for Club Feet in Children

Dr. Mike North, host of the TV program Prototype This, and Miracle Feet, a non-profit organization providing medical treatment for kids in developing countries, used a Connex 3D Printer from Objet Geometries to build prototypes for a new corrective brace to treat 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.
