Abstract: In this work, the recent advances for rapid prototyping in the orthoprosthetic industry are presented. Specifically, the manufacturing process of orthoprosthetic aids are analysed, as thier use is widely extended in orthopedic surgery. These devices are devoted to either correct posture or movement (orthosis) or to substitute a body segment (prosthesis) while maintaining functionality. The manufacturing process is traditionally mainly hand-crafted: The subject’s morphology is taken by means of plaster molds, a… Show more

“…The fabrication of prostheses via 3D printing begins with the process of digitizing the surface of the prepared abutments with laboratory-based or intraoral optical scanners [46,47]. The scanned image is transferred to a computer design software where the prosthesis is designed.…”

“…The use of low-cost cloud-based engineering modeling and analysis software programs such as Rhinoceros (Robert McNeel & Associates), Fusion360 (Autodesk), and Solidworks (Dassault Systèmes) was also common due to their affordability, usability, and applicability. Considering the P&O respondents stated that more training and skills are needed to increase adoption of technology, the use of point and click options in software [ 49 ] may remove the need for advanced CAD skills, making the technology more appealing and user-friendly [ 50 ]. This could lead to reduce unnecessary visits and contact with coworkers and patients, maintaining safe distancing and limiting possible virus spread.…”

“…Additive manufacturing allow the rapid manufacturing of unique models at low cost [ 74 ] and, in that sense, FDM technologies and multi-material possibilities are productive scenarios of great potential [ 75 ], although still with limitations derived from the process and the materials [ 76 ]. Probably, the applications in the field of medicine represent the clearest example to understand the importance and potential of customization [ 56 , 77 ], but it is not the only one. Any ergonomic product is interesting from the point of view of mass customization [ 41 , 47 ], but really in all fields there are examples of applications that require unique and optimal solutions, construction industry for example [ 78 ].…”
