Abstract

The development of prosthetic hand or prosthetic leg equipment is steadily taking place globally. Though it would be difficult to create or feel the same way as a human hand, it would be a great for the amputated person if they can pick things up or do some movement as they want. It has become possible to develop low-cost prosthetic hand according to development of 3D printing technology. If people can develop personalized prosthetic equipment at similar prices to meet this trend, the utilization and penetration rate will be much higher. In this study, it describes how to develop a user-customizable prosthetic hand using 3D printing. To do this, the transformational parameters of prosthetic hand shape modeling are extracted as variability values, and the functions for controlling prosthetic hand motion are designed as software design patterns. This allows people who need a prosthetic hand to have their own prosthetic hand at a fast and affordable price.

의수나 의족장치 개발은 전 세계적으로 꾸준히 이루어지고 있으며, 사람의 손과 똑같이 만들어 내거나 감각을 느끼게 하는 것은 힘들겠지만, 물건을 집거나 몇 가지 움직임을 마음먹은 대로 할 수 있다면 절단 장애인들에게는 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 3D프린팅 기술의 발달로 저렴한 의수개발이 가능해졌으며, 이러한 추세에 맞추어 개인맞춤형 의수를 비슷한 가격에 개발할 수 있다면 활용도 및 보급률이 훨씬 높아질 것이다. 본 논문에서는 3D프린팅을 이용하여 사용자 맞춤형 의수를 개발하는 방법에 대해 기술한다. 이를 위해 의수 외형 모델링의 변형수치를 가변값으로 추출하고, 의수 동작을 제어하는 기능을 소프트웨어 디자인 패턴을 이용하여 설계한다. 이를 통해 의수를 필요로 하는 사람들이 각자 원하는 자신만의 의수를 빠르고 저렴한 가격에 갖출 수 있도록 한다.
