An understanding of biomechanics is important when working with amputees and people with prosthetic limbs. It is especially relevant to understanding how gait deviations and pressure problems occur and how they can be remedied. An understanding of biomechanics is essential for Prosthetists as it influences so many aspects of their work during prosthetic rehabilitation. 

Developed in cooperation with Lubrizol, varioShore TPU Prosthetic is a material ideally suited for printing prosthetic and orthotic parts.

Additive manufacturing is making its way into the mainstream medical industry. Most users see additive manufacturing primarily as an enhancement of craftsmanship, not a replacement.

3D printing can be used, not only for the final application, but for the phase before as well – the fitting process – to make sure the prosthetic has the
