3D Printed Exoskeleton (Theoretical)

On June 2nd, photos of medical stents were added, demonstrating how tubular structures can adapt to expansion, flexibility, even bifurcation stent designs like fingers and thumbs. As for tremor-countering exoskeletons, a potential app could involve these steps: 1) Scan patient to capture anatomy and tremor orientation; 2) Easy mode: 3D print a brace using variable density resins, covering with viscoelastic sleeve; 3) Intermediate mode: Hollow struts filled with viscoelastic material or a shell over struts with pockets of viscoelastic; 4) Advanced mode: Overlapping struts act as mini dashpots to dampen tremors. No power source needed, but planning and computing are crucial. Reality check!
