Singapore startup develops comfortable, waterproof 3D-printed cast for broken bones

A new 3D-printed cast offers a more comfortable, waterproof alternative to traditional casts for broken bones. The Castomize cast is heated to become flexible, then wrapped and clipped, hardening as it cools. It can be reheated and reused for adjustments, potentially reducing overall costs despite a higher initial price. Developed from a student project, the cast is now approved in Singapore, Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan, with plans for FDA and European approval.
