Victoria University (New Zealand) graduate Jake Evill has designed a revolutionary 3D printed injury-localized exoskeleton to help the healing of broken bones. Using x-rays and a hacked together 3D scanner the lightweight but strong cast is custom printed and snaps together to provide support for the fracture.

The Cortex cast is waterproof and has higher density printing to provide extra support where it is needed.
Jake is seeking partners to continue development of the technology. More info at http://jakevilldesign.dunked.com/cortex.
