Fast and Affordable Prosthetic Creation with 3D Printing

Edited by: Tetiana Pinchuk Pinchuk

Reece Littleton, a Mechanical Engineering graduate from the University of Sunderland, developed a fast and affordable method for creating prosthetic limbs.

His method uses 3D printing technology to significantly reduce the time needed for prosthetic prototype creation.

This innovation aims to streamline the process, making prosthetics more accessible and efficient.

The design allows for quick customization and is applicable to any limb.

This project has the potential to create prosthetics quicker and cheaper, especially for children needing frequent replacements.
