TRANSFEMORAL PROSTHESIS - FABRILAB is the third enhancement of a design for lower limb prosthetics that aims to provide a functional and accessible solution. The previous version, Prosthesis Leg Children, was developed by Christian Silva (Biomechanical Design), Osce Days Bogota (Conceptual Design and Modeling), and Laurent Perrin (Improvement and Modular Development Concept). This project can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758592, and all files are covered under the Creative Commons Attribution License - Non-Commercial. The prosthetic is designed for children between 3 and 10 years old, but it can also be used by individuals weighing less than 50 kg with a foot-to-knee measurement of 40-53 cm. Its use should be supervised by health and psychology professionals. Three different printing materials were used for each part: NinjaFlex (Flexible), TPU (Semi-Rigid), and PLA (Rigid). The files containing the specifications for each material are included. Inside the prosthetic, there is a spring that must be created by individuals with knowledge of its design. Specifications can be found in the file plano_resorte.pdf. For assembly and warnings about use, it is essential to carefully read the manual attached and watch the video assembly tutorial, available in the Manual folder. All reproduction or derivation from this model should be supervised by a certified professional in the handling of prosthetics and orthotics. This is not a commercial model, and any intention to sell or profit from it or its derivatives will be punished by law. Mechanical re-design and topology optimization were conducted by Diego Flórez.
