Prosthetic eye replacements will be manufactured by 3D printers in the future – Fraunhofer IGD has developed a number of technologies that supersedes the current and entirely manual production of individual prostheses. The Fraunhofer’s Cuttlefish:Eye software utilizes a 3D scan of the eye socket and a colour-calibrated photo of the healthy eye to create the prosthetic eye’s 3D model. Fraunhofer’s Cuttlefish 3D printing driver is used to print the model on a multicolor, multimaterial 3D printer.
