Creating a Customizable Multi

Material 3D-Printed Ankle Brace - Brandon Lee, Mattheos Drivas, Mo Lynch, Proud Kitnitchiva

Our project aims to utilize the material diversity and versatility of 3D printing and scanning to create an ankle brace that fits each patient’s foot perfectly. It is made of two materials, one rigid to support the injury and one flexible for comfortability and mobility.
