User-Tailored Orthosis Design for 3D Printing with PLACTIVE: A Quick Methodology
This paper proposes a methodology for user-tailored orthosis design for 3D printing that aims to give a non-expert, user-oriented tool that easily generates a customized orthosis. Additionally, this work aims to verify the biocompatibility of the PLACTIVE™ (PLACTIVE AN1™, nano-additive concentration...
