In our latest report, we spoke with key players from the O&P industry who are utilizing 3D printing and digital technologies. Ayelen Fernandez, HP's O&P/Healthcare segment manager, discussed the added value 3D printing brings to O&P, particularly the devices' customizable and scalable aspects. She noted that education is vital, but to achieve this, rigorous testing should be conducted to prove the benefits of 3D printing with demonstrable data. However, she has seen a huge uptake in 3D printing across the industry in recent years: “The industry is moving far faster than we expected. For example, if you attended different O&P conferences/shows like OTWorld - International Trade Show & World Congress five years ago, you may have only seen a few 3D printed parts, whereas more recently, around 80% of the booths are showcasing them.” 👉 Read more about her experiences, and dive into the full report by downloading it here: https://bit.ly/3S1vuGZ
