Abstract:Additive manufacturing technologies have been extensively used in the development of medical products, mainly due to its' complex geometry advantages. Orthoses are among the most common medical devices redesigned for additive manufacturing, as patient specific products. Currently, most of these orthoses are thermoformed from plastic. Advantages of custom and topologically optimized orthosis are mentioned by literature. The aim of this paper is to study the possibility of using lattice structures for the design… Show more
