Hello List Members

I am working in a Paediatric Hospital which is being replaced by a brand
new facility in the next four years

During the design phase, my managers (non P & O health professionals)
have latched onto digital technology, in particular the Omega Tracer
CAD/CAM system, and are believing that with this system the new Orthotic
Department will be plasterless.

Users of the Omega I have spoken to so far say that the system is very
good a some things, but cannot do everything and that plaster casting is
a required option

Do you have any comment on your experiences with CAD/CAM and its
limitations or benefits

Many thanks

Jane Hardy
