Abstract:Background: This research paper presents a comprehensive parametric study that investigates the influence of various 3D printing parameters on the mechanical properties of a pediatric prosthetic keel using coupon samples. Objective: To analyze how 3D printing parameters impact upon on 2 crucial mechanical properties: stiffness and hysteresis. Methods: Key 3D printing parameters including the amount of continuous carbon fiber layers, fiber distribution, and matrix fill pattern, are systematically varied, and mechanically tested through compression to analyze the results. Results: The results demonstrate the substantial impact that printing parameters have on the mechanical characteristics of 3D-printed pediatric prosthetic feet. Notably, the selection of these parameters for the prosthetic keel plays a pivotal role in shaping the overall performance and functionality of the prosthetic foot, emphasizing the need for precise parameter optimization in pediatric prosthetic design, if 3D printing is the manufacturing process. Conclusions: 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.
