Very informative. Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

The age of the industry and the age of the 3D printer I believe, are two different things ?

[@pauljoly7594]

No but mass manufacturing vs custom made, yes. The progress we make in algorithmic/automatic/ai designing + manufacturing process that don't require special tooling like 3D printing, CNC milling, CNC cutting, bending... redefine the cost of custom made and enable a come back. The edge of fdm 3D printing is its low cost, ease of operation and impressive complexity of the parts that for sure enable a non professional to own and use it. But I've seen milling machine for the dental industry that were as easy to operate as a 3D printer.

What is the best scanner for 3d sockets? Thank You

[@limbandlattice6487]

That depends...what is it that you are scanning as your starting point?

[@schnitzelschnizel9448]

What is o and p?

[@whs5517]

Orthotic and prostetic

[@stephanpatterson7585]

Where are you located? How can I buy one of these from you?

[@limbandlattice6487]

I don’t sell products, I just help other people learn how to make these devices to use in their own patient care clinics

@@limbandlattice6487 Thank you. What exact material are you using for printing below the knee prosthetics. How can we talk with you?

You can email me at [e-mail] I use petg for test sockets and various TPUs for flexible inner sockets
