Abstract

EN This paper presents the results of automation of the design of a modular upper limb prosthesis. The process of modernization of the existing, standard CAD model in the Autodesk Inventor program was described, introducing structural changes and enriching the geometric form with the knowledge of the design process using the tools of the iLogic module. In addition, the CAD model was combined with special design tables, thus obtaining a KBE class solution. The result is a special, intelligent generative CAD model that allows for the automation of the process of designing various variants of prostheses, tailored to the patient's anthropometric characteristics. The results of the work were then integrated with the AutoMedPrint system developed at the Poznan University of Technology, thanks to which it was possible to test the operation of the developed solution on real data. Based on the measurement results from the 3D scanning process, various variants of the modular prosthesis were automatically prepared for three patients. The final task described in the work is the process of manufacturing the selected variant of the prosthesis in the additive technique. The results of fitting the prosthesis and the opinion of the patient were also presented.
