Additive manufacturing (AM) has the potential to reshape industries and enhance lives – complete from head to toe. Podiatry is an area where inspiration and innovation help customize an end-user product by blending AI, a platform-based business model, and additive manufacturing technology to create a medical application that enhances people’s lives.
Today, Host Fabian Alefeld is joined by Travis and Nathan Eadie who called in from the Australian Podiatry Conference. Travis and Nathan are an innovative brother duo behind the company Doc Sols, a revolutionary company making strides in podiatry with their additively manufactured orthopedic insoles. This episode promises a riveting discussion about their journey, their challenges and triumphs, and their vision for the future of AM in healthcare.
