Systematic Review of Prosthetic Socket Fabrication using 3D printing

This study reviews the progress of using 3D printing for prosthetic socket in the past 10 years. The objective is to summarize the main techniques and results in prosthetic socket fabrication using 3D printing. Method: ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar were explored to find articles related to the subject. Findings: Based on the selection criteria, the 10 most significant articles were retained. Then, the advantages of the 3D printing-based fabrication method were listed, as well as its limitations and some future challenges.
