Viability Study of Nylon-12 Carbon Fiber Filaments for Use in the Construction of a Powered Lower Body Exoskeleton via Fused Deposition Modeling by Means of Computer Simulation
Description:
Members of the elderly population is disproportionately prone to experiencing mobility impairment due to their aging bodies and as a result have frail bodies that are at a higher risk of grave injury due to falling. In order to combat this assistive mobility devices such as exoskeletons have been developed to help patients enhance their range of motion. With additive manufacturing techniques, such as fused deposition modeling (FDM), becoming a more mainstream form of design, the inclusion of li…
