The goal of this project is to support Life and Limb in providing low cost, custom upper limb prosthetics to amputees. Specifically, the Fellow will support in setting up an end-to-end process of recording a patient’s hand data through 3D scanning, creating a 3D model, fine-tuning the 3D model using parametric modeling, and then 3D printing the prostheses using specialized technologies like Multi-Jet Fusion. The Fellow’s main responsibility will be the parametric modeling.
Maybe, but gaps remain. 3D printing is disrupting industries around the world largely because of the availability of low-cost 3D-printing machines, ease of use, and high-yield products in...
