Abstract: The number of people being amputated is annually increasing, and it will continue to do so over the years. This, along with other reasons, makes the production of prosthesis fall short from its demands. One of the purposes of this project is to provide an alternative solution to this problem using 3D printing technology, which allows the prosthetic limbs to be produced faster. Another purpose of the project is to incorporate art and design into 3D printed prosthesis, which gives the amputees a chance to personalize their prosthetic limb/s. With this said, the study aims to develop a website designed for amputees, where they are able to personalize their 3D printed prosthetic limb/s.
