Although Microsoft is focused on its new Windows 10 and other products such as Xbox One or Surface Pro 4, the truth is that Microsoft is so big that it does not neglect new markets such as the 3D Printing market. Thus, yesterday we learned a news about Exovite, a young company that sponsored under the aegis of Microsoft proposes medical solutions based on 3D printing.
For the operation of Exovite services, the company has used gadgets from Microsoft such as Surface Pro 4 and software from Bill Gates' company such as Microsoft Azure, 3D Scanner or 3D Builder. This software allows us to scan any part of our body and power create custom splints for each patient and situation in such a way that before a bone fracture, the doctor can create casts that better adapt to the patient or the situation if the doctor really has to see a certain area or do some subsequent intervention.
Exovite is working with Microsoft to bring 3D printing to more places
Once you have the models, you just have to print them on a normal 3D printer that in a matter of minutes will give us the necessary splints to cast the patient. Exovite has claimed that this is just one more step in its attempt to unify Medicine with 3D Printing. A) Yes, Exovite will continue with Microsoft in its development of solutions based on 3D Printing.
It seems that after several years of existence, large technology companies such as Microsoft are becoming interested in 3D Printing, a solution that of course can be interesting for many users and that, as Exovite has shown, no need to have a large team to make prints, despite the fact that the Surface Pro 4 is not as small as many think.
