Design and manufacture of a splint prototype for the upper extremities of the human body

The article presented below shows the process carried out for the elaboration of a splint prototype and the techniques used for its elaboration, the design is carried out with the solidworks software, the designs with the most optimal forms that confer a greater resistance are analyzed. to the prototype, the configuration of the laminating software and the correct orientation for its manufacture are shown. A review of the optimal materials for its manufacture is made, such as PLA, PETG and ABS. For the printing of the prototype, an Ender 3 pro model 3D printing machine will be used, while the Simplify 3D program will be used for the configuration of the printer, which will allow us to configure temperature parameters, such as the extruder temperature, temperature of bed, layer height, printing speed, filling percentage among others.
