Arm v2 - SolidWorks format

thingiverse

These custom SolidWorks files feature modified versions of the Enable RIT prosthetic arm design, adapted for those who already possess expertise in its fitting and use. Since the original RIT arm is being discontinued, these updated models will serve as a temporary solution until new designs are thoroughly tested and certified by relevant authorities. It's essential to note that these revised designs have not received official endorsement or approval from the Enable organization. Compared to their predecessors, these modified versions boast a more streamlined appearance and significantly reduced bulkiness, weighing only 303 grams when fully assembled. Key enhancements include a whippletree adaptive grip mechanism and a specially crafted palm with a knuckle curvature and thumb relocation system that boosts grasping capabilities. Furthermore, the elastic segments are divided into finger and knuckle sections, enabling customizable finger closure rates. Individuals opting to utilize these files must meticulously adhere to established sizing procedures, possibly necessitating professional guidance from medical practitioners to guarantee proper fit and utilization. By downloading these SolidWorks models, users assume complete responsibility for ensuring their correct application. For reference, a corresponding PDF document within the Thing files section outlines print settings and assembly guidelines. These revised SolidWorks designs are compatible with software versions 2013 and newer.
