From the article ...

http://www.designnews.com/article/518204-Custom_Implants_Delivered_in_One_Day.php

Surgeons at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, D.C. have been using additive manufacturing processes to produce custom cranial implants for several years.

They recently explored use of machined PEEK implants, but felt they were too expensive. Instead they opted for implants made from titanium alloy using an electron beam additive manufacturing (AM) process.

Of COURSE the Army want's to use the implant method they've been using. Too expensive? ... poppycock! If they use the KLYG 24-hour turnaround process, it automatically knocks out that 4-5 weeks of waiting on their current method, and that 4-5 weeks of medical pay to those Walter Reed doctors and staff.

Again ... our government crooks at work.
