Modeling and Simulation Process via Incremental Methods of a Production-Aimed Upper Limb Prosthesis

This research presents a numerical analysis used for designing an upper limb prosthesis with seven degrees of freedom (DOF). The process was undertaken to carry out the manufacture. The detailed methodology exposes a static structural analysis with the materials for manufacturing a prototype, the components responsible for the movement of the prosthesis subject to maximum loads during simplified routines were optimized. The results show the classification of the pieces manufactured by an additive method and those made by material removal.
