Utilizing 3D Scanning, 3D Printing, and developing a custom digital tool, we were able to completely re-imagine the way these prosthetics could be made.
Using the existing method, creating a single full-limb prosthetic took a minimum of 15 hours to complete.
The process began by sealing the patient mold to prevent leaks, then mixing plaster to create the positive. Sheets of plastic were heated and wrapped over the plaster positive, then trimmed and shaped further.
Finally, foam was added along with hardware and the leg.
A casting kit is sent to the client, they wrap the patient with ace like bandages. Once they harden the molds are sent to us for scanning
