Here are five key points:
1. The system is comprised of a camera, scanner, computer-modification software and a 3-Axis Carver.
2. The 3-Axis Carver cuts prosthetic and orthotic molds for pre-sized cylindrical polyurethane foam.
3. The hospital installed the system earlier this year, making the process for making prostheses, braces and burn masks faster, less invasive and more efficient.
4. Prior to the system, practitioners had to mold the prostheses and orthoses by hand.
5. The Gately Foundation provided the hospital an $116,000 donation for the computer-aided design and manufacturing system.
