“…Layer height is also an important printing setting to consider as it directly impacts the quality of a printed object [11,17]. Indeed, a low layer height increases the smoothness of a surface and details of a print, but it lengthens the printing time as layers are deposited, cured or sintered according to the 3D printing technology chosen [17,101]. Conversely, larger layer thickness results in a poor resolution with a rough surface in a shorter printing duration [17,101].…”

“…Every 3D printing technology is associated with a specific layer resolution range. Here, are the layer resolutions for the four most employed 3D printing techniques for 3DP prostheses: FDM 50-200 µm, SLS 80-250 µm, IP 5-200 µm and SLA around 10 µm [17,101]. Finer details can be obtained with SLS than FDM.…”

Open-Source 3D Printing in the Prosthetic Field—The Case of Upper Limb Prostheses: A Review

Upper limb loss alters individuals’ private and professional life. Prosthetic devices are thus a solution to supply the missing upper limb segments. Nevertheless, commercial prostheses are often unaffordable, or inaccessible, to underprivileged individuals (e.g., no health insurance, low incomes, warzone). Among potential affordable alternatives, additive manufacturing, commonly “3D printing”, has been increasingly employed. This technology offers higher availability and accessibility, and can produce complex geometrical and highly customized products, which are essential features for prostheses manufacturing. Therefore, this study aims to portray an overview of reliable open-source upper limb 3D-printed prostheses currently available. We thus searched the scientific literature and online repositories hosting 3D-printable designs. We extracted data relative to mechanical and kinematic properties, 3D printing process and efficacy for each device. We found six studies implementing open-source 3DP upper limb prostheses and twenty-five open-source designs from online databases meeting selection criteria. Devices’ technical specifications were not systematically reported. In conclusion, though open-source 3D-printed upper limb prostheses can perform some functional tasks and grasps, and are widely employed to supply limb differences, further research is mandatory to validate their usage and to prove their clinical efficacy. More guidelines are required to unify contributions from private makers and non-governmental organizations with scientific groups.

“…This has to be done carefully and there exists the risk of damaging the model, or inadvertently removing small features. When using soluble support material, there is a lower risk of damaging the model [31] The support structures can be dissolved in water or with a chemical called Limonene. Examples of soluble materials are HIPS (used as a support with ABS material) and PVA (used as a support with PLA material) b) Powder removal (SLS and Powder Bed Fusion) Models printed using powder bed fusion (SLS, etc) are fabricated using plastic or metal powders.…”

Medical 3D printing is emerging as a clinically relevant imaging tool in Directing preoperative and intraoperative planning in many surgical specialties and will therefore likely lead to interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers, radiologists, and surgeons. 3D printer technology is one of the innovations brought by the industrial age. It has been in our lives for many years. This miracle manufacturing method has been frequently preferred for medical applications in recent years. The main aim of this project is to minimise the time and cost for the design and manufacturing of the prosthesis. Getting the DICOM file from the MRI or CT scan which gives the body part dimensions (or) views of the body part in different directions . AUTODESK MESHMIXER and 3D SLICER software’s are used to extract and design the 3D prosthetic body part in this project, flexible Biomaterial is gone to be used for the flexibility in the respiration process. There are a lot uses of 3D printing technology in surgery, pharmaceutical industry, disease modelling, development of customized implants and prostheses, organ printing, vet medicine and tissue engineering applications have been explained and this new method compared with traditional methods that used in the biomedical field. In addition, this study includes future opportunities that are expected to become widespread and developed in the future. Keywords: 3D Printing, DICOM File, AUTODESK MESHMIXER, 3D Slicer.

“…The purpose of this article is to recognize macro-and microstructure of selected both 3D printing technologies and materials which are described in [1], [2]. It is suspected that the 3D printing process can create a different structure and material behaviour during load than other technologies.…”

The article presents research conducted with the project: ‘Additive manufacturing in conduction with optical methods used for optimization of 3D models’’ [2]. The article begins with the description of properties of the materials used in three different additive technologies – Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Material Jetting (MJ). The next part focuses on the comparative analysis of macro- and microstructure of specimens printed in order to test selected materials in additive technologies mentioned above. In this research two types of specimens were used: dumbbell specimens and rectangular prism with hole specimens. In order to observe macrostructure specimens, they were subjected to load test until it broke. In the case of observing microstructure, they were cut in some places. Each of described additive technologies characterizes by both different way of printing and used materials. These variables have a significant influence on macro- and microstructure and fracture appearance. FDM technology specimens printed of ABS material characterized by texture surface appearance. SLS technology specimens printed of PA12 material characterized by amorphous structure. MJ technology specimens printed of VeroWhite Plus material characterized by fracture appearance which had quasi- fatigue features. The microstructure of these specimens was uniform with visible inclusions.
