Customized 3D-printed fracture casts with optimized porosity to enhance healing and patient comfort. The design improves air circulation, accelerating recovery. Higher density is applied in fractured zones for stability, while lower density and increased porosity in other areas ensure breathability and lightweight support.

Approach
Approach
Medical-grade 3D printing resin was chosen to allow design flexibility while ensuring biocompatibility. The approach leveraged Voronoi patterns, enabling precise optimization of structural density. CT scan data was adapted and processed to generate patient-specific geometries, using Grasshopper scripting for computational design. This method facilitated mass customization, ensuring that each cast was tailored for optimal fit, support, and ventilation while maintaining an efficient production workflow.
