Thanks in large part to3D printingtechnology, companies, vendors, and manufacturers can help consumers attain the personalization they seek in this era of putting a personal stamp on everything.
这种趋势的最有趣的方面之一是Fathom，这是一家具有3D打印和增材制造专业知识的技术驱动公司。该公司最近开发了一个应用程序#CAST。
明显的哈希演员，这是一种新的方式，可以使患者转过更传统的在铸件上撰写的方法，以支撑胳膊或腿，并使用这些个人信息来创建独特的演员。
使用最新的制造技术和3D CAD软件，可以在医生的办公室扫描3D，并使用选择性激光烧结（SLS）在透气尼龙材料中制成的独一无二的铸件。
使用#cast移动应用程序，用户可以批准或拒绝通过其首选社交网络收集的个人消息。一旦用户批准了允许的最大字符，就会生成并构建自定义拟合设计，然后将其交付给其医疗设施，并由专家安装在用户身上。
根据工业设计师Ava Decapri的说法，，，，该项目的灵感来自增材制造业社区中3D印刷铸件的涌入 - 类骨骼的标题制作应用，由土耳其学生Deniz Karasahin创造的治疗超声振动的3D印刷铸件以及由学生Jake Evill铸造的皮层。这两个示例都以创新的方式使用3D打印技术。
While discussing the benefits of the various 3D printed cast designs, DeCapri became focused on the users experience from an interactive standpoint. It’s classic to see personalized notes written in marker on a traditional cast. That’s when she realized a big part of the user experience was missing. The #CAST app provides that unique experience for the user while still benefiting from the innovative structure that improves healing and comfort.
However, development was not without challenges. “The main challenge with the #CAST,” noted DeCapri, “was translating the text from the app into a supportive structure. We experimented with different methods of translating the text to the cast surface in RHINO CAD software.”
The design team finalized a way of using paneling tools and manipulating control points based on the break point identified on the original scan. This method worked well, as the team was able to create denser letter groupings around the break, where more support was needed and airier sections where support was less crucial. Having this flexibility to customize the density of the cast allows for a breathable, lighter, and all around more comfortable structure for the wearer that’s built out of personal messages just for them.
该项目为Fathom提供了一个机会，可以证明当前技术的可能性，这是客户可用的工具和专业知识的示例。尽管个人无法订购#cast演员，但私人医生可以与Fathom一起为客户合作。
