Moulding 3D print

A project log for Building an Assistive Robotic Arm

We are building an assistive robotic arm for my daughter who recently became paralyzed in her left arm.

We printed out our first attempt at the arm brace. We decided to use PLA plastic as it would allow us to print out the brace flat and them mold around Lorelei's arm after we heat it. To make that easier and to make sure I don't burn lorelei, we made a cast of her upper and fore arm, and molded the brace around those instead. It worked really well!
