Making military soldiers orthotics and prosthetics with advanced medical technology (CNC & 3D Laser)

This is a news broadcast of medical technology making orthotics and prosthetics for military soldiers. A 3d laser is used to scan the soldier’s foot or other parts of their body and is rendered in software. It is then taken to a Thermwood Model 67, five axis machine, and machined to the custom shape.

In this episode of Diagnosis Health Mr Rowan English director of National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics discusses the latest advances in prosthetics. Are robotics the new prosthetics? What is the future in this area of rapidly advancing technology? A robotic arm without the prostetic is used to display the latest electronic advances.
