Designing prosthetic limbs by using EinScan 3D Scanners

摘要

IN THE WORLD of 3D scanning and 3D printing,reverse engineering is the most commonly used application across multiple industries.Being able to 3D scan an object and create a customized product is an invaluable skill.3D scanners allow for the capture of organic and inorganic shapes alike,making them the ideal tool for industries that would struggle with traditional CAD design methods.One such industry is prosthetics.While the functionality of a prosthetic limb is its most important feature,the fit and form of the prosthetic can be just as important for the patient.The comfort a well-fitting prosthetic provides can make a world of difference as does the confidence provided by a prosthetic limb that suits its user’s appearance.3D scanners have opened a gateway into customization,and customized prosthetic solutions are now a reality for many amputees.The EinScan Pro line of handheld 3D scanners,and the SHINING 3D industrial 3D printers,make 3D scanning and 3D printing for medical applications more accessible than it has ever been.
