Prostheses play a vital role in restoring function and mobility to individuals with physical disabilities. This study focuses on the procedure to create customized prostheses using semirigid molds obtained from additive technologies. This innovative methodology aims to improve the fit and comfort of prostheses.The manufacturing process of prostheses using semirigid molds combined with additive technologies involves several key phases. These include the use of computed tomography (CT) of the affected area, computer-aided design, and the production of custom mold models.This study introduces the main production phases of customized prostheses, based on the strategy that involves the manufacturing of semirigid molds, by additive manufacturing (AM). This approach improves fit, comfort, and integration of prostheses into patients' daily lives. In particular, prostheses for cranioplasty are described in this study.
义肢在恢复身体残疾者的功能和行动能力方面起着至关重要的作用。本研究专注于使用增材技术获得的半刚性模具来定制义肢的过程。这种创新方法旨在提高义肢的适配性和舒适性。使用半刚性模具结合增材技术制造义肢涉及几个关键阶段。这些阶段包括使用受影响区域的计算机断层扫描（CT）、计算机辅助设计以及定制模具模型的生产。本研究介绍了基于通过增材制造（AM）制造半刚性模具的策略的定制义肢的主要生产阶段。这种方法提高了义肢的适配性、舒适性以及与患者日常生活的融合度。特别是，本研究中描述了用于颅骨成形术的义肢。
