Children are in a constant state of growth, which makes the need for adaptable and easily modifiable prosthetics essential. Traditional prosthetics can be expensive and time-consuming to produce, often requiring multiple adjustments as a child grows. In contrast, 3D printed prosthetics can be quickly reprinted with modifications to accommodate growth spurts, thereby providing a more practical and affordable solution.
Additionally, 3D printed prosthetics can be customized to a child's specific measurements and preferences, ensuring a better fit and increased comfort. This personalization can also extend to aesthetic aspects, such as color and design, which can help children feel more confident and excited about using their prosthetic device.
