A new scoping review of 130 lower limb prosthetic articles and 117 upper limb prosthetic articles seeks to identify gaps or limitations in research that are creating barriers for the digital fabrication of prosthetics. Limitations include: ➡️ Lack of long-term, larger-scale studies ➡️ Research into the training requirements for these technologies and the necessary rectification processes ➡️ High range of variance of production workflows and materials Read the full review and conclusions here: https://buff.ly/49RzLmk Academy members can access this review and more in O&PiQ: https://buff.ly/4aUKGwK #OandP #OandPResearch #DigitalFabrication #Prosthetics

Great invention, but is this material also breathable ?
🔔Exciting news in Prosthetics⚡ I am thrilled to announce that our research, entitled "Single Polymer Composites: An Innovative Solution for Lower Limb Prosthetic Sockets," has been published in the Prosthesis Journal (Q1). The research focuses on manufacturing prosthetic sockets using self-reinforced polymer composites. The study comprises PLA, PET, carbon fibre, and glass fibre based commingled yarn, in which both the reinforcement and matrix are in fibre form. We utilised a reusable vacuum bag and a purpose-built infrared-based curing oven to melt the matrix in the commingled yarn. Following the manufacturing of the test socket, we fabricated patient-specific sockets using PET composite for unilateral amputees and analysed the gait cycle. Overall, our study identified self-reinforced composites as ideal candidates for prosthetic socket applications due to their mouldable nature and recyclable properties. My sincere thanks to my supervisors and co-authors, Dr. Karthikeyan Kandan, Dr Farukh (CEng FIMechE SFHEA) and Prof. Arjan Buis for their unwavering support. The image shows the working of commingled yarn and the fabricated patient-specific socket. 📖Read our full paper at https://lnkd.in/ef5saE35 Royal Academy of Engineering DMU Research #prostheticsocket #rehabilitation #selfreinforcedcomposites #artificiallimbs

Prosthetic sockets serve as the interface between an amputee’s residual limb and their prosthetic device, playing a critical role in comfort, functionality, and overall satisfaction. Traditionally, the process of obtaining a prosthetic socket involved casting or measuring the residual limb, but with technological advancements, scanning has emerged as a viable alternative. Read more about the process in our latest article! https://bit.ly/3LReKyC

3DCeram’s CEOs, RICHARD GAIGNON and Christophe Chaput, recently came across interesting work happening at Jiangnan University, where they have deployed a C900 FLEX for their research. Their primary focus revolves around various zirconium types: 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, and 8Y, alongside exploring silicon nitride and infiltrated silicon carbide. Their enthusiasm for the technology is palpable - they are thrilled with the machine's capabilities. Collaborating closely with a company that utilizes a C101 in dental applications, they've delved into creating diverse-hued crowns by incorporating dopants. Their belief in leveraging 3D technology for dental application is unwavering, investing significantly in human resources. Their satisfaction with the software aspects and the machine's performance empowers them to explore and innovate freely, shaping the future developments they envision. Cheers to their groundbreaking strides in materials science and dentistry! 🚀💡 江南大学 #3dprint #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #ceramics #china #innovations

3D printing is transforming manufacturing around the world. GO Orthotics Ltd in New Zealand has chosen Stratasys SAF technology to scale up its personalized-insoles production. Stratasys H350 not only offers the best-in-class cost-per-part, repeatability, and accuracy. But also, it´s a great solution from a sustainability point of view. It offers the lowest energy consumption per cm3 printed in powder bed fusion. On top of that, like in this particular case, if you use PA11, not only you get perfect mechanical properties for orthotics, but it´s also a biomaterial sourced from non-edible vegetables. https://lnkd.in/d-UThZqM?
