Hello list,
I recently got my hands on a 3D printed prostheticsocket. It was created using an HPMultijet fusion printer using MJF Nylon 12. Interesting technology but there are concerns about ultimate socket reliabilityand corresponding socket weight.
What other materials/printers are people having successwith? Who is out there making 3D printed sockets?
Before a decision is made on this technology, it would be great to explore other examples of 3D printed sockets.
Thanks!
Charles
