Design of 3d printed below-knee prosthetic – a finite element and topology optimization study

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study was to develop a prosthetic leg design that incorporates these features, taking into account the user needs of amputees, and to produce it using an additive manufacturing process, i.e. threedimensional (3D) printing. In the present study, the structural analysis of the first designed 3D prosthetic leg model was performed using FEM in ANSYS Workbench software by investigating the loading conditions such as standing, walking, ascending stairs, and descending. The direction and angle of the standing force were applied as shown in Table 1. Lightness of weight is one of the . . .
