Can this system also be used for X-ray patients? I have seen models being made in X-ray departments that help to hold the patient still and focus the X rays onto the correct part of the body. I think there is great potential for this 3D printing in this field too! Fast, accurate and cheaper! (By the way - I am teaching Physics in Tianjin these days and loving it - including medical Physics :)
I don't think it's world's first, my country is already using it for casts in hexagonal shapings. Also it's just a regular 3D printing basically, this could have existed several years ago. But we can already 3D bio print organs, why aren't we doing that and investing in that?
