Romy, who is six years old, is a medium-sized Whippet. He now accepts 3D printed prostheses at the University of Mexico Valley (UVM) and is the first puppy in Mexico to receive 3D printed prostheses. 3D printing puppy prosthetics are affordable, and of course customization is also an important part of choosing 3D printing.
Romy lost a front leg completely in an accident in 2013, which seriously damaged his walking function. Now with advanced 3D scanning and 3D printing technology , it has a prosthetic limb, which will greatly improve its quality of life. “We did three Roma's prosthetic designs through 3D scanning and fully matched its dimensions through computer software simulations,†said the UVM Veterinary Hospital Coordinator.
The final 3D printed prosthesis will be completed in the next three months. It features a silicone joint that mimics the natural movement of the dog's legs, which will use 3D printed carbon fiber and aluminum materials - extremely durable and lightweight materials to run and jump. The finished prosthesis will also be the same color as its fur.
It is understood that UVM uses 3D printing to develop animal prostheses mainly to focus on 3D printing savings, cost and weight reduction advantages, because prosthetics can use a variety of materials, from plastic to carbon fiber, aluminum or other metals, depending on the size of the animal Need to be customized. The 3D printed prototype to finished model can be manufactured in as little as 24 hours.
Now that Romi has installed a new prosthesis, it is now undergoing 2-3 months of training at UVM's Veterinary Hospital to accommodate its new foot. Although it is still difficult to walk now, I believe it will be adjusted soon. Now the doctors are considering treating her second damaged leg.
