The medical field uses a host of composite materials for a wide variety of applications.
There's urethane for making short run production housings for equipment (how many MRI machines do you think GE is making in a year? Not enough for metal tooling, that's for sure!)
In prosthetics, athletes wear replacement limbs that are as high tech and high performance as the most modern racing cars. Carbon Fiber, yes!
This list goes on and on. For more information, try googling the phrase "medical composite" and see what happens. |
