Advancements in Customized Hand Prosthesis Manufacturing Using 3D Printing: Development and Optimization
摘要
The following study explores the development of a 3D-printed articulated hand prosthesis equipped with Electromyographic Muscle Sensors. The goal is to provide accessible hand prostheses to individuals who have experienced amputations due to accidents, considering the challenge of replicating natural movements. The main objectives are to create a functional and cost-effective prosthesis and to emphasize the benefits of 3D printing technology in terms of cost and customization. The methodology involves using anthropomorphic measurements relevant to the prototype’s design, with data collected from individuals aged 30 to 40. The design process includes simulation, construction, and analysis of results. The primary findings indicate successful grasping of objects with the prosthesis, with a note that the texture of objects can affect the precision of the grip. The key conclusion is that this project addresses a significant social need by offering affordable and functional prostheses to individuals with hand amputations.
