Things we don't have in the library..yet...
The Welsh Government is supporting a pilot scheme that aims to bring 3D printing to front-line NHS staff.The project is looking at how 3D photography and 3D printing could be used in areas such as burns therapy and wound-care.The project is funded by the Welsh Government Health Technology and Telehealth Fund and run by consultancy PDR, which has experience of using 3D printing in medical applications.The funding will pay for five scanners and a 3D printer. The scanners will be used to capture patient data, which will be sent to PDR where the consultancy will use it to design patient-specific devices such as prostheses or cutting and drilling guides.The aim is to enable low-cost access to 3D printing that will allow NHS staff to commission custom-fitting devices.The project is being backed by the Centre for Applied Reconstructive Technologies in Surgery in Wales.
