Design of Personalized and Lightweight Rehabilitation Fixators Based on nTopology
摘要
To address the issues of inadequate therapeutic effects, side effects, poor fit, and aesthetic deficiencies associated with traditional external fixation for fractures, a personalized and rapid customization and optimization design method for rehabilitation fixators is proposed, based on reverse engineering and 3D printing technologies. Taking the wrist rehabilitation fixator as an example, a handheld scanner is used to scan the hand model, and the collected triangular mesh data is processed. The model reconstruction is completed using Geomagic Studio software to establish a CAD model. On this foundation, forward design work is carried out using nTopology additive manufacturing software in conjunction with Solidworks software. Concurrently, based on clinical symptom analysis and requirement inference, a lightweight design for the fixator is achieved. This approach proposes a convenient and effective method for the design and optimization of personalized rehabilitation fixators.
