TLDR A low-cost, 3D-printed light therapy device is safe and effective but needs more testing before use on people.
The study developed a low-cost photobiomodulation (PBM) device using 3D printing, aiming to make PBM therapy more accessible, particularly in developing countries. The device was tested for safety and light beam quality, demonstrating operational safety and effective maintenance of light beams. The results indicate that a 3D printed LED PBM device is technically, operationally, and financially viable. However, further experimental tests and clinical validation are necessary before it can be applied in human health settings.
