1)      Introduction:

Have you ever, at one point in your past, had to adjust your life style because you had to wear a cast after breaking a bone? Well, now you do not have to worry about having to deal with that anymore. There is researching being done about 3D printing casts. 3D printing casts will get rid of all of the things that made having a cast, unbearable.

2)      Current use:

Currently, the only way to obtain a 3D printing cast is if a private physician partnered with FATHOM to make it available to clients. The 3D printing cast is still in the stage of making it available to the public.

3)      Security Aspect of technology:

When it comes to 3D printing, there are some concerns. The big issue, is if the 3D printing machine gets hacked. The hacker could easily alter the machine to create a hand gun instead of a cast, or whatever was being produced.

4)      Ethical and Social implications:

For the 3D printing cast, there are no ethical implication since anyone who can afford it, can purchase one once it is released. However, there are going to be some social implications, because FATHOM is also creating an app to go with the 3D cast to be able to connect with others that have the cast.

5)      Future Use:

Hopefully, in the future, this product will be available to anyone who can offered it. Also, hopefully the app that will come along with the cast will be a big social app like Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram.
