3DP Research

PROSTHETICS, ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

What we do?

The 3DP Research team comprises researchers, medical doctors, and certified prosthetists who collaborate to provide innovative and affordable prosthetic solutions through advanced mathematical modeling, analysis, and synthesis across various engineering areas, including medical devices, prostheses, orthotics, industrial tooling, and additive manufacturing.

Technologies available for transfer:

  • A reverse engineering workbench for digital imaging of residual limb of an amputee (GRANTED (IN 504839): (Technology Transferred to SHARE India) Regalla Srinivasa Prakash and Shrivastava Prakash Narayan, "Method and System to Generate Personalized Data for Prosthetic Manufacturing", The Patent Office Journal (India), No. 4219/CHE/2015-A, (2017), p. 17919.)

  • Technology for design and manufacturing of novel high comfort, affordable 3D-printed below-knee prostheses; two variants, namely, (1) ISOS prosthesis, and (2) Sukhfit prosthesis; more than 25 patients are currently wearing our prostheses and are productively rehabilitated; the technology was developed with support from DBT/BIRAC/BIG grant (GRANTED (IN 556089): (Technology Transferred to SHARE India) Regalla Srinivasa Prakash and Shrivastava Prakash Narayan, "A Process for Manufacturing a Prosthetic Limb Socket and the Socket Thereof", The Patent Office Journal (India), No. 201841035329-A, (2020), p. 15234.)

  • Novel deep-drawing tooling for manufacturing tailor-welded blanks (GRANTED (IN 463091): Satya Suresh Venkata Naga Vakada and Srinivasa Prakash Regalla, " A Novel Deep Drawing Tooling with Selective Heating and Cooling for Tailor Welded Blanks (TWBs) ", The Patent Office Journal (India), No. 4038/CHE/2015-A, (2017), p. 21694.)

  • Below-knee prosthesis flexible pylon for any time correction in the length of the below-knee prosthesis
