Metallic laser is direct the scramble artificial limb of agglomeration

J.

Mr Howard will tell, climbing boot is having very high value and sense (graph) . More important is: Regard a deformity as the athlete, as a result of crus amputation, accordingly he has foot of an artificial limb -- an artificial limb foot that designs by research and development of aerospace engineer environmental protection and Ms. Mandy Ott. Graph A and artificial limb of graph B scramble: It is to use DMLS metal laser there is in the jotter that direct agglomeration engineering technology makes brand-new, the artificial limb that has challenge sex extremely, after it arrived once upon a time, bend a bit, appearance very resemble a banana. With respect to the treatment of this one artificial limb craft is told, ms. Ott chose DMLS metal laser without doubt direct agglomeration technology. This engineering technology is she is very familiar: "The production that my a bit did not consider to use a convention machines engineering technology to make this only false base. The false foot that produces because of conventional engineering technology has juncture, bulgy bolt or nut. This kind of false foot is slippery when mountain-climbing. " read in data Ms. Ott to come to Morris technology company: This is the business that a major produces from limb of leave of absence. This enterprise has prepared the athlete that is deformity to provide a help. Create artificial limb base to can begin production, the medium, data foot of whole artificial limb decomposes the control software that must read in the CAD data that artificial limb foot designs to equipment of metallic laser agglomeration above all for one layer upon layer agglomeration information. Control systematic another by the agglomeration of EOS company next agglomeration of layer upon layer ground rises. Every agglomeration, agglomeration equipment besmears Fu is thin metal of thin a titanium is pulverous. Every agglomeration an artificial limb, mould splint can drop, besmear in order to facilitate again illuminate of powder of Fu metal titanium, laser, fused, condense on foot of an artificial limb. This one process repeats ceaselessly, the ply of every time agglomeration is 20 μ M about, this is equivalent to the diameter of 5 hairs silk. After finishing all and automatic agglomeration, qing Dynasty gets rid of redundant metallic titanium is pulverous, heat again go stress, in order to retain the hardness of material and strength. Production is made used 40h this one dimension is 15cm × 7.

The artificial limb foot of size of 5cm × 5cm was used about 40h just completed complete agglomeration work, its weight has 2 about only.

3kg. To make the weight of artificial limb foot as far as possible a few lighter, used cavity structure. Additional, it also does not have connective juncture and fastener. After the agglomeration that finish is machined, went up in besmear of ministry of artificial limb foot again the balata that a climbing boot uses. Artificial limb and femoral join are the root department that makes artificial limb leg with solid titanium lever is linked together to it again. What the engineers of Morris company use is commercial, having the metallic titanium with enough strength and very light weight (Ti64) . Although this is the first artificial limb that they produce, but the potential that acting manager Mr Tim Warden of sale and market department has realized EOS technology immediately: "Artificial limb should match each other with human body structure of the patient. If the patient cannot install good artificial limb correctly at the beginning,the artificial limb that perhaps installs cannot develop due function normally, undertake OK and simply handling to CAD data. For example: The material hinderous place a little purify a bit. " Mr Warden says: "The design of mountain-climbing artificial limb is opposite for it is very simple. " but he also points out: DMLS metal laser is direct agglomeration technology also agrees with the medical apparatus and instruments with manufacturing structure very sophisticated appearance. The production of embedded content uses technology of this one agglomeration, can produce make for example the body of artificial and embedded holiday of joint of hip joint, knee joint, shoulder and gambrel or the special orthopaedics part that the embedded holiday put oneself in another's position that flesh notes and patient place want. Morris technology company had used technology of give somebody a new lease on life of body of this kind of artificial holiday in a lot of application domains. "Always shorten in need manufacturing time, when reducing cost of product research and development, we use DMLS metal laser all the time direct agglomeration engineering technology. " the worker say of Mirros company. The material sort that technology of metallic laser agglomeration can use is very various, those who included biology consistence is plastic with metallic stuff; And the detail of usable material still is increasing ceaselessly -- the manufacturing need that wants medical apparatus and instruments only.
