    摘要: A prosthetic limb and process to digitally construct a prosthetic limb which includes first, digitally producing a modified mold of a residual limb via 3d scanners and software known to the industry; constructing a test socket from the digitally modified mold and be equipped with an alignable system; for example, a pylon, along with the desired prosthetic foot; accurately scanning the test socket, preferably with a 3D scanner, along with finalized alignment that has been recorded and adjusted by a certified practitioner to provide a 3-D Image of the finalized prosthetic alignment; transferring the finalized digital alignment of the test socket to the finalized digitally modified mold; once the modified model has received the transferred alignment, fabricating the type of hookup in the socket; i.e., plug fit, four hole, support drop lock, or any other type of industry standard connection or accommodation via basic 3D software; and once the desired prosthetic attachment is finalized, the next step is to send the finished file to a 3-D printer to produce the definitive prosthetic device. The 3-D printed socket would then be placed in a vibratory finishing system to smooth out the interior and exterior surfaces of the printed socket; and the walls of the 3-D printed socket would be sealed by applying a mixture of epoxy sealant, for example, TC-1614, to the inside and outside walls of the socket, and placing the socket into an oven for a sufficient amount of time to seal the walls of the socket. Preferably, the prosthesis would be printed out of Nylon 12 material or of a strong plastic, such as ULTEM®, or carbon fiber, or other material of equivalent or greater strength that may be known or developed in the future.
