Design and Analysis of Prosthetic Foot using Additive Manufacturing Technique

Prosthetic feet are designed for an individuals foot at a particular activity level. Prosthetic foot is a style for people that cannot walk, the performance is basically cosmetic. For people who square measure most actively, a prosthetic foot should mimic a traditional foot throughout the act of walking. The fabric for prosthetic feet varies by varied use of foot and by varied application. Wood, plastic and foam are sometimes found in feet designed for people who have low activity levels and need stability. Carbon fiber feet meet the purposeful wants for shock absorption and energy potency, and square measure light weight further. a variety of metals square measure used for prosthetic limbs Al, Titanium, Magnesium, Copper, Steel, and lots of additional. titanium was discovered within the late eighteenth century. Its a typical metal used for medical and engineering applications due to its several favorable properties. its sensible strength to weight quantitative relation, guck strength to density quantitative relation, glorious corrosion resistance, density and its light weight. So, perform static and model analysis on existing prosthetic foot to seek out stresses, total deformation. Then replace the fabric with the 3D printing additive producing technique. And find out the analysis result and compare the prevailing. Then experimental testing may be carried out to validate the result. Mr. Akshay Dashrath Mule | Prof. Dr. P. M.
