“…One possible explanation could it be the fact that the study was done in 2011 and that FDM has been used in the last years, as we can observe with the results. Wierzbicka et al (2017) explain that FDM is one of the most widespread technologies due to its low cost of purchase and maintenance, simple and friendly manufacturing process, and mate-rial strength and dimensional accuracy. The materials most used by FDM are the thermoplastics Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and Poly-lacticacid (PLA) in a form of filaments, but the range of materials available are expanding.…”

Accessing physical prototypes is possible to test an idea quickly with models that look like the final product. Rapid Prototyping (RP) based on additive or subtractive technology permit to conduct trial tests of usability in order to avoid errors and failures before the final product production. Those technologies are increasingly in orthosis's production. Ergonomics field involved in the design process with RP can facilitate usability tests providing comfort, safety, and performance in the development of orthoses. The objective of this study is to review, accessing the specialized literature, the use of RP for prototypes' production for user's evaluation of orthoses. The results showed that the most common technique used was FDM. Half of the studies involved user's participation or evaluation in the design processes, although, only three out of thirty-eight studies used RP to proof of concept's production, indicating little use of proof-of-concepts models.

The article presents the results of research aimed at redesigning a jewelry product with the use of modern reverse engineering methods. A detailed review of the literature was conducted and the essence of the application of this technology in the era of Industry 4.0 was presented. The 3D digitization of the research object was performed with the use of Aicon SmartSCAN-HE R8 and DAVID-SLS3 scanners. The obtained better quality file was edited in Autodesk Meshmixer 3.5 software. On the basis of the created model, a 3D print was made using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and DPP (Daylight Polymer Printing) technology with two different materials-HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) and photopolymer casting resin. The final stage of the work was the measurement of the surface roughness of the B101 (CuSn10P) tin-phosphorus alloy castings made using the method of investment casting.

“…for the design of a cosmetic prosthesis, there are considerable difficulties associated with keeping the patient's hand still during scanning. In [20], the structural light scanning of the full surface of the lower leg of the human body was successfully applied in the process of designing an individualized ankle orthosis.…”

Designing individualized medical devices requires the collection of anthropometric data from the patient. This can be done by using the 3D scanning process. Despite many advantages, it has significant drawbacks, limiting the suitability of its use for many types of medical devices. This paper presents the design of measuring station that allows increasing the quality of the anthropometric data obtained in the scanning process of human limbs. The accuracy and repeatability of the data obtained on the station was presented and compared to reference scans. Moreover, owing to the automation of certain activities in the scanning process, operating the device requires the operator to have much lower competencies and workload.
