Prosthetic foot manufacturing, while rich with technological advancements, encounters a spectrum of challenges that significantly impact both the production and the end-user experience. Traditional manufacturing techniques, particularly lamination, have been the cornerstone of prosthetic foot production, offering high structural efficiency through the use of carbon fiber-reinforced composites. However, this method is fraught with limitations that necessitate a reevaluation of manufacturing paradigms. Time and Cost Efficiency: Lamination is an inherently labor-intensive process that demands a considerable amount of manual labor, making it both time-consuming and costly. This not only elevates the price point, making prosthetics less accessible to a broader audience but also limits the production capacity, thereby failing to meet the growing demand for prosthetic feet.
