Model Solution enables development of canine prosthetics

The Echo prosthetic leg is specifically designed to improves a dog’s mobility and balance, giving them a second chance at life while reducing pressure on his body and 避免潜在的脊柱问题。模型解决方案协助创意研究学院的学生Shubham Harish开发了犬类假肢的设计。Model Solution的设计团队致力于验证制造设计的设计，并在原型制作阶段选择更多合适的材料和制造工艺。在过程结束时，模型解决方案开发了回声假肢的高质量外观模型，该模型在亚特兰大举行的2017年IDSA会议上展示了。

Form, fit and function is vital to determine whether a prosthetic would be successful for a specific canine. Considerations of comfort, natural movement, communication between the body and the new limb, the need for adjustments and proper fit, and the use of breathable materials have all been met by the Echo dog prosthetic limb, which is able to return confidence and happiness to both the dog and its owner. The Echo utilizes a ReMotion Knee joint that mimics the function of the dog’s knee by creating the necessary back and forth movement of the limb. A vacuum suction socket and one-way liner with multiple small magnetic points allows a tight and comfortable fit. The attraction between points when the dog stump is in the vicinity of the socket helps with the initial fit, and suction helps the stump go all the way in. Pelite, which is a lightweight material and soft-to-the-touch, was used for cushioning the socket while urethane was used for padding the one-way liner to reduce friction between the skin and socket.

为回声狗假体构建原型模型的过程包括结构性设计工作，CNC加工，湿衬，镀层，绘画，绘画，丝网印刷和最终组装。回声是由ABS塑料，卷岩海绵泡沫，尿电烷，铝和黄铜建造的。

To simplify and improve the appearance of applied finishes, Model Solution modified the design to utilize CNC machined ABS plastic parts instead of 3D printing and selective laser sintering (SLS) carbon-fiber reinforced nylon. Also, Model Solution was concerned about rubber shrinkage for certain parts during the manufacturing process, so those parts were made out of hard plastic. In order to provide the rubber-like feel that the designer wanted, they were then painted with soft-touch paint.

模型解决方案还与其他消费电子公司合作，制作原型，例如1月份2018年消费电子节目的Echo Prosthetic Limb。
