Improving lives by helping animals walk again
DiveDesign is a well-known 3D laser scanning company that uses technology to create fantastic equipment that consumers can use. This technology has helped create many sustainable products that we love and enjoy. It has created a competitive market; each company is trying to use this technology to promote a better quality of life. 3D laser scanning will continue to be adopted because of its versatile uses, and by 2025 the market will grow to a few billion dollars.
After many years of creating survival tools, workout clothes, and anything in between, DiveDesign has partnered with someone new to develop products for other species. They have partnered with Derrick Campana, who creates prosthetics for animals. He has helped many animals walk again and made many pet owners happy. This is a feel-good moment for DiveDesign. They were able to see where Derrick could use help and provided a way for him to get it.
Derrick Campana has helped treat over 20,000 animals and will now be able to help much more with the help of DiveDesign. On top of that, it will help make the work easier by adopting this fantastic technology. More animals will get more limbs thanks to 3D laser scanning and, of course, 3D printing. Undoubtedly, these two companies will make a great team and be able to use this technology to change more than human lives.
The original way to create prosthetics
Campana had to spend hours and hours working for one dog or “patient.” It would take him 15 hours of hard work that was all mostly by hand to create one prosthetic. The process took so long he had to turn away several dogs and other animals.
He would have to take molds of the dog, create a cast, sand it, shape it, and much more before it was even ready for an animal to wear. It took hours of hard work and dedication. It was also not always the most comfortable way for the animals to get prosthetics. The use of 3D laser scanning has genuinely changed the process.
How 3D laser scanning helps
Instead of creating molds of a limb, and putting in hours of work to get the measurements. 3D laser scanning can quickly scan the stump of the animal and the other leg, to get accurate details of how the new prosthetic should be. In many ways, it is much more reliable than doing it by hand and quicker. This means the two companies can be faster, accurate, and efficient.
The benefits of using 3D laser scanning
The best thing about using this technology to help create prosthetics is that it is noninvasive. Many times, the dogs or animals who need prosthetics would have to get molds taken. This is a tedious and uncomfortable process for everyone involved. Using 3D laser scanning that part of the process gets taken out. It is accurate enough to get rid of the molds entirely and doesn’t harm the animal in any way. It is fast and efficient and makes the process smoother than the original methods of creating prosthetics. On top of that, using 3D laser scanning and printing is one of the best ways to practice sustainability.
This technology has truly changed the way we produce and develop things. It will continue to grow in uses, and we will adopt if to more things around the world. 3D laser scanning will not only help consumers create a better quality of living but also the animals we love.
