Biomedical Engineering: 3D Printing Prosthetics Using Enable and TinkerCAD
by Patricia Morgan
Be a part of the humanitarian effort and teach students how to create a fully functioning 3D printed prosthetic arm for a client in need. This lesson walks you through the process in a slideshow format to produce a custom size and design to fit your client like a glove! The open source files from Enable allow you to create all sorts of upper limb prosthetics to suit individual needs. By using TinkerCAD, students can then customize the design to the interests of their client.
