A well-performing prosthesis is vital for lower limb amputees in ensuring independence, mobility, and quality of life. Each prosthesis is unique and custom-made to the amputee, but arriving at a good fit is a complex and time-consuming process. Snapform is providing a solution to support the prosthetists in arriving at an optimal design in less time and enable more advanced designs using 3D printing technology.
Based on an MRI scan of the residual limb, we are building an advanced Finite Element Model to simulate the movement of soft tissue and optimize the shape of the prosthesis to minimize the stress and strains that the amputee experiences. The optimal shape is transformed into a socket design that can be 3D printed.
What we are looking for
We are looking for a student within mechanical engineering with a strong interest in 3D printing technology to help us develop the 3D printable design.
You will be working with
- Converting the optimal shape from the FEM simulation into a 3D printable design.
- Leveraging the new possibilities in 3D printing to develop prosthesis at the next level in terms of comfort and functionality.
What we offer
We are offering an unpaid internship or a partnership on special courses, master or bachelor thesis.
We are situated in Futurebox at DTU in Lyngby together with many other high-tech startups.
You will be able to experience being part of a start-up and the energetic ecosystem as well as help us bring a solution to market that will fundamentally change the industry and improve the lives of lower limb amputees.
