Prosthetic is a necessity for people with disabilities. The price of a prosthetic limb is equivalent to US$ 150. The price is expensive for the community. On this occasion, I want to share my knowledge about the manufacture of prosthetic limbs using resin BQTN, fiber and wax
Stages of making prosthetic limbs are:
- Measurement: measure the leg length required for the user, the height and height of the knee from the ground
- Prepare the mold: the mold can be made of wood, foam or other materials. Materials needed are resin, fiber, and wax.
Combine 2 kg of resin with 0.5 kg of fiber and add 0.3 ml of war, stir and cast in the mold. Previously the mold is coated with wax so as not to stick. Wait for the dry and open. - Print the thighs and calves separately, the calf should be comparing with Stainless steel round shape with a diameter of 1 inch
- Connect the thighs and the calves with hinges, hinges made specifically
- Test the patient
- Trim and paint
You can try to make it for your needs or your brother. It costs no more than US $ 15.
So, Hopefully useful.
