The article provides readers with a detailed overview of the AutoMedPrint technology, its advantages and opportunities, based on a number of studies and case examples. The AutoMedPrint system represents a significant advancement in the field of orthopedics, offering a comprehensive solution for the automated design and rapid production of personalized orthopedic and prosthetic devices through 3D printing technology. This paper details the system's capabilities and methodologies behind it, which include the design and manufacturing of various devices such as wrist hand orthoses (WHO) and ankle foot orthoses (AFO), among others. These devices are crafted using data obtained from precise anthropometric measurements, allowing for high customization to meet individual patient needs. The AutoMedPrint system enhances the quality of life for patients by providing devices that are not only functional and cost-effective but also rapidly produced, ensuring timely intervention. Case studies demonstrate the system's effectiveness in practical scenarios, highlighting its potential to revolutionize orthopedic care by integrating new materials and technologies that adapt to changing medical and patient requirements. The discussion extends to the lifecycle of the produced devices, emphasizing sustainability and continuous improvement, ensuring the system's relevance and efficacy in modern medical practice.
