Parametric analysis of 3D printing parameters on stiffness and hysteresis characteristics of pediatric prosthetic foot coupon samples

The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the manufacturing process for pediatric prosthetic feet via 3D printing and offer valuable insights for optimizing their design. By identifying the ideal combination of 3D printing parameters that yield the desired stiffness and minimize hysteresis, we aim to enhance the performance and comfort of pediatric prosthetic devices, ultimately improving the quality of life for young users.
