Abstract

The use of general-purpose and specialized programs is an indispensable part of modern prosthetics. Individual prosthetic modules computer modeling requires visual data processing and implementation technologies such as 3D scanning, mathematical modeling, computer-aided design (CAD) tools, and 3D printing for all stages from design to manufacturing. This paper proposes the automated system for creating prosthetic socket for lower limbs, based on the 3D model correction by using the Rhinoceros software and the Grasshopper plugin. After creating a three-dimensional model based on 3D printing technology the individual connecting modules of prostheses (prosthetic sockets) can be made.
