Castomize uses advanced manufacturing techniques combined with artificial intelligence to change how we create and interact with physical objects, positively impacting multiple industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and the environment.

Their first product is a series of novel 4D-printed orthopedic casts which are more comfortable and convenient for patients, easier and more accurate for doctors and nurses to apply, and more environmentally sustainable. With its advantages, the casts are well-positioned to be the new global standard of orthopedic casting.
