English: Dr. Steven Pollack (left), Director of FDA’s Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories (OSEL) at FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) holds a 3D-printed RoboHand, a prosthetic for children with amnionic banding syndrome, an illness that can prevent fingers from developing in children. Research engineer James Coburn (right) uses the 3-D printer (background) in his work at FDA. cad-cam software developer 3-D printing—the process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model—is spurring innovation in manufacturing, dramatically reducing the time required to design new products and allowing designs to be built that were not possible before. At FDA, we’re using it to expand both our research and our review of new and innovative medical products.
