Hand scanner housings for Ottobock
We're excited to share our latest production featuring hand scanner housings developed for Ottobock, a company renowned for producing prosthetics and orthotics. This initial order includes 50 sets, consisting of 50 housing bottoms and 50 housing tops. The product has been validated and integrated into their system, ensuring consistent quality for future orders.
Both components were produced using MultiJet Fusion (MJF) technology and printed in PA12 (Nylon). Post-processing involved color dyeing the parts black to achieve the desired color. Additive Manufacturing (AM) was chosen due to the product's complexity and the small batch size, eliminating the need for special tooling or molds. This approach allows for the production of intricate designs in limited quantities without compromising on design integrity. Additionally, the lightweight design, made possible by its hollow structure, wouldn't have been achievable with traditional manufacturing methods. This not only enhances the user experience by making the device lighter and easier to handle but also reduces material usage, positively impacting the environment.
