Abstrakt: The digitization of the design process of lower limb prosthetic sockets seems to be necessary. Using modern CAD procedures and CAM technologies, it is possible to produce functional, individual prosthetic aids that bring many benefits compared to commonly used methods. However, the disadvantage of using CAD/CAM procedures can be the input costs for production technology and software. The aim of this research is to propose a low-cost solution for individual transtibial socket design and production. Modern methods and technologies like 3D scanning, CAD design and additive manufacturing have been applied. As a result, a transtibial stump positive and custom socket design methodology is proposed. In conclusions a total value of a custom transtibial socket design and production was calculated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
