The Right Business: Should we be concerned of Disease X spreading?
Castomize is a Singapore-based medtech startup dedicated to transforming orthopedic care through innovation and cutting-edge technology.
Founded in 2022, Castomize pioneers the use of 4D-printing technology to create customisable, reusable, and eco-friendly orthopedic casts that redefine patient recovery experiences.
Unlike traditional plaster or fiberglass casts, Castomize’s 4D-printed casts are lightweight, water-resistant, and odor-free, providing unparalleled comfort and hygiene for patients.
These advanced casts become malleable when heated, allowing them to conform perfectly to a patient’s limb for optimal support and reshaping as the bone heals.
On The Right Business, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Abel Teo, Co-founder, Castomize Technologies, to share more.

Under the Radar: The startup behind 4D-printed orthopaedic casts – Castomize on the strategic value of working with hospitals, incubators, accelerators and its growth trajectory ahead
Making healthcare more accessible, effective and less invasive. That’s the ambition of our guest for today, Castomize.
Spun off from the Singapore University of Technology and Design in late 2022, the firm aims to do so through the use of medical devices made with advanced manufacturing techniques.
It has since launched its first device, a series of 4D-printed orthopaedic casts which are more comfortable and convenient for patients. The casts are also easier for doctors to apply and remove, and require less resources for hospitals to deploy.
The casts have won awards at multiple startup events including the K-Startup Grand Challenge.
As a firm, Castomize was also selected as the first startup in incubator VentureBlick’s super incubator programme.
It is also working with other incubators and accelerators such as Shinhan Square Bridge Incheon, Singapore Management University’s Business Innovations Generator, the Temasek Launchpad and the SUTD.
But what is the strategic value of working with these players and how does the Castomize envision its growth trajectory to be like?
On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Abel Teo, CEO, Castomize.
