Toward the Future: Multipurpose 3D Printed Prosthetic Arm

Abstract: Prosthetics is that area of medical industry which deals with artificial limbs. These are used for those who lost their limbs. But there are many people who have their limbs and cannot use them due to neurological disorders. The current work aims at achieving a solution to the people who have neurological Disorder problem by using Additive manufacturing technology i.e. 3D Printing. The mechanism is initially modeled in Unigraphics. The models are then fabricated in 3D printing using PLA/ABS material. Then the fabrication is again redesigned to be mounted upon a robot for imaginative multipurpose use.
