Abstract:Hoof and leg problems in racehorses can cause serious injuries and decrease their value. Although therapeutic shoeing using special horseshoes can increase the effectiveness of veterinary care, it is labor-intensive and burdensome for farriers. A three-dimensional (3D) printed horseshoe fabricated by additive manufacturing has high design flexibility for use in special horseshoes. However, the mechanical properties of 3D printed plastics for use as horseshoes remain unclear. In this study, a proposed 3D printe… Show more
