This project was worked on alongside a former student of Monmouth College: Max Balagna '19. The goal of this research project was to utilize the 3D printing ability students have here on campus, and create a working prototype prosthetic that someone could possibly use one day.
Methodology
STL files were downloaded from a website called Thingaverse. The STL files are then converted into G-code for a software called Slic3r can break the STL files down and my partner and I could manipulate specific designs or print settings for the prosthetic. Once the manipulations have been made, the STL is converted into G-code for the printer to print the desired object.
