3D-Printed Research Immobilization Cast ↗
Using CAD and 3D printing to develop a custom immobilization cast as part of a research experience at Texas A&M.
Quick overview +
Overview This project involved the design and fabrication of a custom 3D-printed immobilization cast for a mouse hindlimb research model. The objective was to develop a device capable of maintaining controlled knee and ankle positioning while providing an anatomically appropriate fit and allowing continuous visual monitoring of the underlying limb. The project was conceptually based on a previously published mouse hindlimb contracture model. However, the original researchers' CAD files were unavailable, so I developed the entire design independently using Onshape, referencing the published research as a starting point.
