Cyber-Physical Design and Additive Manufacturing of Custom Orthoses
Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) is an enabling technology that can transform the manufacturing and enable new innovations in custom orthoses and prostheses. In this talk, the vision of future cloud-based design and cyber-physical additive manufacturing (AM) of custom orthoses are presented for two most common custom orthoses, the foot orthosis (FO) and ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). Examples for prosthetic sockets and children cranial socket are also presented. Altogether, the concept of cyber-physical service system (CPSS) features the one-day or next-day delivery, passive dynamics for personal needs, long-term monitoring using the inertia measurement unit (IMU) and other potential technology for custom assistive devices is presented. CPSS demonstrate the potential societal impacts enabled by AM. AM is ideal for personalized products such as custom orthoses, which provide better comfort and function than pre-fabricated ones for users. The fabrication time and material cost for AM are critical to provide advantages over the conventional methods for fabrication. On-going research on AM of wavy structure for path planning optimization using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) will be presented. Technical and social challenges in the FDM of carbon fiber composite, training and adoption of clinicians, and costs for operating the CPSS will be summarized.
