3D printed: Complete leg

From scan to 3D printed leg

With a Calibry scanner, they were able to scan full legs and feet, including the detailed parts of the foot. This is traditionally a complicated task, especially considering the movement of the leg during scanning. The integrated screen really helped here! The scan was finished in < 1 min. Post Processing was performed in Calibry’s included software Calibry Nest. A high quality, waterproof mesh result was quickly achieved.

To make the 70 cm high model printable, we designed it in three parts. These parts can easily be mounted together, thanks to our self-developed mounting system. The model can also be mounted to a plate, making it a display option for events. The preparation of the printable parts was performed in Geomagic Wrap, a top-class solution for mesh editing.

3D Printing the complete leg

Finally, the separate parts were printed on a Tractus T850 with our optimized FFF-process for orthopedic applications. It offers high volume throughput and the material is the ideal combination of both strength as well as reworkability with traditional methods, such as sanding, gluing etc. All parts were finished in a combined printing time of < 24h per leg model.
