CAD/CAM transtibial prosthetic sockets from central fabrication facilities: how accurate are they?

This research compares transtibial prosthetic sockets made by central fabrication facilities with their corresponding American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (AAOP) electronic shape files and assesses the central fabrication process. We ordered three different socket shapes from each of 10 manufacturers. Then we digitized the sockets using a very accurate custom mechanical digitizer. Re...

This paper presents a model fabrication scheme that automatically approximates a model whose boundary consists of several freeform surfaces by developable surfaces and then unroll these developable surfaces onto a plane. The model can then be fabricated by assembling the sets of developable surfaces which have been cut from planar sheets and rolled back to their proper Euclidean locations. Both...

Personal Fabrication

While fabrication technologies have been in use in industry for several decades, expiring patents have recently allowed the technology to spill over to technology-enthusiastic “makers”. The big question now is whether the technology will further progress towards consumers, which would allow the technology to scale from hundreds of thousands of users to hundreds of millions of users. Such a tran...
