The Prosthetics and Orthotics Podcast
The Prosthetics and Orthotics Podcast is a deep dive into what 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing mean for prosthetics and orthotics. We’re Brent and Joris both passionate about 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing. We’re on a journey together to explore the digitization of prostheses and orthoses together. Join us! Have a question, suggestion or guest for us? Reach out. Or have a listen to the podcast here. The Prosthetic and Orthotic field is experiencing a revolution where manufacturing is being digitized. 3D scanning, CAD software, machine learning, automation software, apps, the internet, new materials and Additive Manufacturing are all impactful in and of themselves. These developments are now, in concert, collectively reshaping orthotics and prosthetics right now. We want to be on the cutting edge of these developments and understand them as they happen. We’ve decided to do a podcast to learn, understand and explore the revolution in prosthetics and orthotics.

How 3D Printing Allowed Richard Blalock Get Back to Training for a Marathon
For Richard Blalock running is a way of life and through a myriad of circumstances he was not able to run pain and blister free in his traditionally fabricated prosthesis. Richard shares his journey on not only finding his prosthetist Shane Grubbs at Procare in Atlanta but also how he found 3D printing. If you are a prosthetist with athletic patients you definitely want to listen to this podcast. If you are an amputee this may be great information for you to take back to your prosthetist.
Richard shares his story on how he chose to have an elected amputation. We dive deep into the design of the prosthesis along with materials used with MultiJet Fusion Technology.
