Is this the plaster cast of the future? Designer uses 3D printing to create tailor-made exoskeleton to help heal broken bones

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2354852/Is-plaster-cast-future-Designer-uses-3D-printing-create-tailormade-exoskeleton-help-heal-broken-bones.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

this seems such an obvious use for 3d printing I am surprised it hasn't been thought of before.
It certainly will remove the itch associated with normal plaster casts and allow the patient, within reason, to enjoy a more normal life including washing or showering.
