Case Study: LifeNabled creates custom 3D-printed prosthetics with nTopology

LifeNabled saves 2-3 days in prosthetic fabrication with nTopology

LifeNabled, a non-profit provider of prosthetic solutions, faced the challenge of automating and streamlining the design of custom prosthetic sockets. Their manual fabrication process was time-consuming and physically taxing. To create comfortable, breathable, and cost-effective devices, they needed advanced topology optimization and design automation capabilities, which they found using nTopology's nTop design software.

Using nTopology's reusable workflows and lightning-fast lattice generation, LifeNabled created a fully digital process. This solution saved 2-3 days during fabrication and over a day during the design phase. The result was that 35 amputees in Guatemala were fitted with the world's most advanced 3D-printed prosthetic devices, which featured custom flexible inner liners for improved comfort.
