Automated Customized 3D-Printed Wrist Splints from High-Fidelity Low-Cost Photogrammetry Scans
This project creates a fast, low-cost pipeline for making custom wrist splints using photogrammetry, automatic CAD modeling, and 3D printing. A patient places their arm in a compact scanning rig, and a full 3D model is captured instantly using multiple synchronized cameras. Software then generates a lightweight, ventilated splint design automatically from a few anatomical landmarks. The splint is printed on-site so the patient can receive it within about one hour of scanning.
The final outcome is an open, reusable workflow (including scripts, CAD templates, and printing settings) that partner institutions can use for teaching, research, and rapid clinical prototyping. By automating the design and fabrication steps, the system shortens wait times and frees hospital staff from routine orthosis production.
