Bespoke design meets systems at scale

design and development
01
We interviewed Chris on why other prostheses don't work for him. Then we co-designed with him by exploring off the shelf materials and comfortable clamping depths on his limb.
02
We built 3 representations of his limb - digital point cloud, casted rubber, and 3D printed plastic. These models helped inform various prototyping methods in building the final socket prototype.
03
The final socket prototype included a carbon fiber shell with soft rubber lining and terminated with mechanical clasps for an open application interface.
04
The team presented at the
Open Hardware Summit in 2015 showcasing the story of our collaboration.
