Studies have shown that ultrasound waves can promote bone healing and reduce the healing time by 38 to 80 percent, depending on the fracture�s type. The common cast prevents access to the skin which makes this technology unusable. In addition, the old cast can be heavy, stinky and itchy and is not waterproof. In this project we will take several photos of a hand from different angles, analyze the received data, design and print a 3D model of a custom cast that will allow making use of the ultrasound technology for accelerating fracture healing. The new cast will also be lighter, waterproof and airy.
