German researchers develop low-cost 3D printed prosthetics for wounded in war zones

Although it is now a peaceful era, in some parts of the world, many people are still persecuted by the war. Some people who have lost their limbs in the war are very inconvenient in their daily lives. Especially in the war zone, the injured people can enjoy the equipment and resources, so a group of researchers from Germany decided to help these injured people through 3D scanning and 3D printing technology .

It is understood that this group of researchers is led by Dr. Christian Zagel of Florida Atlantic University (FAU), who will design and develop 3D printed prostheses and then visit the war zones around the world to provide assistance to the wounded. The project was named "3dpro" and has been recognized by Germany as one of the top 100 landmark projects.

The person in charge of the project revealed that they plan to develop a 3D body scanning system that can be used for virtual try-on clothes, custom prostheses, etc., and the system is very simple to operate and does not require professional technical guidance. “We want to make sure that local doctors can easily operate our systems even in conditions of lack of conditions,” Dr. Zagel said. “Local doctors don't need professional cameras or 3D printers . I believe our systems are in war zones. The role will be very large."

For the production of prostheses, Dr. Zagel and his team designed the use of recycled plastic wires to make prostheses. The plastic prosthesis handles used in contact with the patient's wounds will also be lined with soft silicone to achieve the best. Comfort. Currently, the team has created prototypes of custom prosthetics in the first 3D print, and then they will continue to test a variety of materials, ultimately choosing a material with high durability and strength.
