Arthrogryposis: 3D printed exoskeleton

3D Printing technology is  opening up a new branch in hospital sector. Developments in the current 3D printing technology  is aiding  to the realisation of personalised medicine. Now with this technology individual hospitals can be transformed into small scale manufacturing sector. One of the best example on the realisation of 3D printing in hospital sector is discussed on the video of Emma a toddler diagnosed with arthrogryposis (a congenital disease condition were the patient is unable to move arms without assistance). When exoskeleton for adults are struggling to be realised on commercial basis, 3D printing of exoskeleton on one to one basis for kids seems to be easily put into practise by a skilled biomedical engineer using CAD and 3D printer. There is a great prospects to this technology as scientist around the world are trying to find more and more materials that can be printed  using a a 3D printer. One group of scientist from Cornell university are on the verge of 3D organ printing.
