There are many prosthetics on the market these days; however, due to the suitability and congeniality issues, especially the materials, cause problems such as mobility and heavy weight. Our goal is to improve the lives of disabled people by providing them with this prosthetic lightweight leg with good air circulation and fasting fabrication time. RAF lightweight leg design addresses current market needs such as lightweight material that can sustain significant weight, absorbs impact on uneven surfaces, comfort area for mounting leg, and system integration with a mobile device.

RAF lightweight leg design addresses current market needs such as lightweight material that can sustain significant weight, absorbs impact on uneven surfaces, comfort area for mounting leg, and system integration with a mobile device. The product will also be tested on individuals who had their legs amputated, to acquire real-world feedback for future enhancement.

The Rapid Advance Future (RAF) lightweight prosthetic leg is an innovative mobility solution that leverages additive manufacturing to create a lightweight, modular, and comfortable prosthesis for individuals with foot or transtibial amputations. Designed to address key issues found in conventional prosthetics such as excessive weight, poor air circulation, and limited comfort; RAF offers improved mobility through durable yet lightweight materials that absorb impact on uneven surfaces. Its user-centric design includes a comfortable mounting area, enhanced airflow, and mobile device integration for monitoring and adjustments. The prosthetic is also developed with rapid fabrication capability, allowing faster delivery and customization, and will be tested on real users to ensure functionality and guide future improvements.
