Medibord provides solutions for radiotherapy needs, such as, customised MRI compatible couch tops. Medibord does not heat up by induction, thereby avoiding excessive heat to the skin of the patient during treatment. The new business model moves away from manual to automotive manufacturing. This feasibility study looks at 3-D printing and coatings by find possible candidates to improve current marketing and perceived product value.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
