Production Process for an Affordable Prosthetic Foot Mercer University School of Engineering Senior Design Project Alicia Herwig (Industrial Engineering) Stephen Koch (Mechanical Engineering) Aaisha Merali (Mechanical Engineering)
Project Goal and Solution Support the Mercer on Mission program in Vietnam Design and manufacture a prosthetic leg Constraints: specified size, weight, and material for the foot Alternatives: molded or machined Final Solution: Use CNC Machine Student Projects Department of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management Slide 2
CNC Machining Use CAD/CAM software to draw model of design Develop G Code for the model Load G code, test, modify code as necessary Attach cutting tools in correct locations Position workpiece and run the program Student Projects Department of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management Slide 3
