3D-printed cast concept, more flexible and wearer-friendly than traditional plaster cast for break and fracture patients, is the latest potential application of advanced materials manipulation. The design, dubbed the Cortex Exoskeleton, is the handiwork of Jake Evill, and could potentially deliver more structured support for broken limbs while also being lighter, stronger, and more convenient than existing options.

Now that is using tech for the better. IMO

Those are just such cool names for an inventor and his invention. You couldn't use that in an adventure or a story without people rolling their eyes :)
 
And, if you combine the 3D printer files, you could add in a printable gun to the cast! Now that's some adventure material!
