Robo-Prosthetic Development Platform

thingiverse

The Robo-Prosthetic Development Kit, designed for the "Dimension 3D Printing Extreme Redesign Contest," is a wire-driven assembly perfect for prosthetic control experiments. The creator was fortunate to win a first prize scholarship and has since been using the resources for Bioraptor multi-tool 3D printer development. Although Solidworks files are not yet ready, step files offer inspiration to others with similar goals. For inquiries, feel free to contact Dale, despite his full-time student status. The hand design is a crude derivative of the creator's own hand, but it facilitates easier integration of electronic feedback mechanisms for sensory input. The absence of embedded electronics and specific recipient made the design 3D printer-dependent. The final models are scaled versions of original parts, showcased in pictures. If Dale wins, he will donate the Makerbot to Worcester's FABLab upon its opening and use it for Bioraptor completion. Each part should be printed separately for optimal strength. All components were modeled and tested using a Dimension 3D printer. It is recommended to print a single joint set as a test if using a different system. Questions can be directed to Dale, a full-time student.
