Prostheses for Acute Care
Fast 3D printing with multi-nozzle technology enables the production of prosthetic legs for acute care overnight.
After 3D printing has already been successfully used for the production of medical aids, such as orthoses or insoles, a market is now opening up through the production of individual leg prostheses. A fast production process is a prerequisite for fitting, acute care and replacement prostheses. While single nozzle 3D printing causes process times of over 24 hours, reduced process times of multi-nozzle technology enable overnight production. To achieve the maximum part quality, we cooperate with orthopedists and medical supply stores as development partners to cover the entire process chain from part design and material selection to process planning and 3D printing.
Results:
3D printing is competitive due to short process times
Digital process chain for fast and comfortable patient care
Use of certified filaments for skin contact
Multi-material 3D printing allows further design freedom
On-Board Computer
Holistic product development – from the control board to the design and 3D printing of the functional housing.
The on-board computer solution MC move+ for local public transport consists of a computer tablet for the driver, a customer display, a ticket printer and a QR code scanner – all integrated into a 3D-printed housing. The power supply and communication between the individual components is realized via a custom PCB developed by LIQTRA. The entire project from the idea to customer deployment was completed in around 6 months, which shows the potential of 3D printing in terms of cost savings and avoiding long delivery times for tools.
Results:
3D printing minimizes development times
Economic small series production of housings
Reduction of housing parts due to integral design
3D printing enables decentralized spare part production
