Production of personalized child orthosis using additive technology

This paper explains the production of a personalized child orthosis with 3D printing technology. In agreement with the doctor’s specialists, an appropriate candidate was selected. The components of a child's orthosis have been modelled and adapted based on the scans from candidate acquired with 3D scanning technology. The 3D scanning process with OrtoSCAN digitizer and component modelling in Autodesk Fusion 360 are explained. Customized child orthosis components were made using two 3D printers: Prusa i3 P3Steel and Geeetech Prusa i3 Pro. Patient visit was followed by assembling of the orthosis. After final design and orthosis trial, the conclusion is that less modification on the shoulder part is needed and there is still room for further optimization of the orthosis. By using a generative design, it is possible to obtain an even more lighter customized orthosis that will satisfy the required mechanical properties and fulfill its function.
