Additive Manufacturing for Prototype Development in Prosthetic Treatment Delivery

Beacon Ortho hopes to identify and deliver additively manufactured devices to improve the patient experience, improved fit and comfort, and to reduce the extremely high amount of input waste in fabrication of prosthetic devices. This project aims to test additively manufactured trial devices against moulded thermoplastic trial devices, and composite definitive devices. Using ISO 10328 (current international standard for prosthetic device testing), we hope to validate our design workflow to ensure patient safety through destructively testing devices designed and fabricated in house over the last year.
