One Russian-based company, called Zdavprint, appears to see great potential in 3D printing casts. It’s not only them that sees the potential that this new technology could provide to the old tradition of setting, placing and holding a broken bone in place to heal. Maxfield Capital also realizes the potential, so much so that they have invested $100,000 into Zdravprint’s product and idea.

It allows air to be supplied to the injured parts of the body, hence the skin under the plaster does not become dry and scaly.

There are already heat-formed thermoplastic materials used to make custom immobilizing devices for broken limbs. It doesn't seem necessary to go through all that scanning and 3D printing to make something flat that would be heated and formed around the patient's limb. If the open design is all that you get from all that, then simply die-cutting the thermoplastic in a range of sizes would save a lot of time and be more cost-effective.
