Losing a limb is a traumatic and life-changing event that can have a significant impact on a person’s psychological well-being. Amputation can be a result of various circumstances such as a traumatic injury, cancer, diabetes, or other medical conditions. Regardless of the cause, the psychological effects of amputation can be profound and may require appropriate…
Orthotics and prosthetics are two rapidly growing fields that aim to improve the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities. With advancements in technology, the orthotics and prosthetics industry has seen many changes in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue into 2023 and beyond. Here are some of the most significant…
ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is one of the most used thermoplastics in the world of 3D printing. This material is known for its versatility and durability, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including toys, consumer goods, and automotive parts. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at ABS…
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a 3D printing technology that uses a laser to fuse together small particles of thermoplastic materials. This process allows for the creation of complex, detailed, and functional parts, making it a popular choice to produce orthotics and prosthetics. THE PROCESS Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing is a process that…
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is a method of 3D printing that involves extruding small beads of thermoplastic material, which are then layered to build the final product. It is commonly used in the production of orthotics and prosthetics because it is relatively low-cost, easy to use and has a wide range of materials available. The…
