Transfemoral Monocoque Polyaxial Study
There will never be enough trained medical professionals to meet the global need for prosthetic limbs. This means that the solution must be digital, must scale exponentially, and must avoid the human bottleneck.This concept leg proved that a complex leg may be created by algorithm and 3D printed, entirely custom per user. The geometry is based on a contralateral 3D scan, guaranteeing a recreation of body symmetry. Complex knee and ankle joints are printed integrally at no burden to process or cost. This remains an ongoing project.
