In iLead, a novel 3D printing technology is being developed to produce medical assistance products that are customized, material-saving, weight-saving and at the same time cost-efficient with high strength. The technological developments are accompanied by a continuous user-centered-design process to fabricate devices which meet user needs. In this project, we aim to fill the gaps in the current 3D-printing technology to fabricate medical assistive devices with significant user benefit, well-being and availability.
