Objet Connex multi-material 3D printer used to improve treatment of clubfoot 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.

Learn about challenges of designing a brace that is universally adaptable yet low cost.


How prototyping helped Dr. North overcome these design challenges leveraging Objet’s Connex 3D Printer

Hear how past prototype design projects helped Dr. North determine the correct solution for the brace
