It's widely known that prototyping was one of the initial uses for SLS 3D printing and remains highly popular. However, as technology, materials, and post-processing have advanced to meet manufacturing standards, more professionals are shifting from traditional methods to 3D printing. They're moving beyond just prototyping to producing final parts. The orthotics industry provides a clear example of this shift. It focuses on creating orthoses, which are devices applied externally to affect the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. This sector has grown steadily alongside 3D printing advancements in medicine and prosthetics. A recent report forecasts the orthotics market to reach approximately $6 billion by 2028. This growth is driven by digital processes and 3D printing's ability to rapidly manufacture customized orthotics that are not only precisely fitted but also thin, durable, lightweight, and consistent. For deeper insights into how SLS 3D printing is transforming ortho...
