Single day, rather than the week it takes with the existing plaster-cast-based process. The goal of the project is not to produce cheaper sockets, but rather to reduce the turnaround time to a Finally a consumer FDM 3D printer is used to fabricate the socket. Then Meshmixer is used to design a socket that will fit the limb, and interface with a standard The 3D PrintAbility project aims to create a scalable process for manufacturing prosthetic sockets for children in the developing world.įirst an inexpensive 3D scanner is used to acquire the 3D shape of the residual limb. This is very useful in Health and Medical applications, where practitioners can scan a person to create a patient-specific 3D model, and then use this model as a basis to create custom-fit devices and aids. Meshmixer makes it easy to design solid parts that fit the detailed contours of 3D scans, while also incorporating precise mechanical features.
