Abstract
A lot of Dogs and Dog owners suffer physically and mentally if pets lose their legs in any accident .In this
project a prosthetic limb has been designed for such cases where the Dog has lost its front limb.Prosthetic
limbs are life preserving application that offer amputees a path to use lost limbs. But now-a-days,
technology has developed to the point that any material can be printed by using 3D printing technology.
This paper aims to provide information on the majority of existing 3D printed materials and to investigate
their potential to build the prosthetic limb using 3D printed technology.In this project materials such as
PEEK, Aluminum , Stainless steel etc are used. Here the designers have implemented the concept of
modularity i.e. the parts such as the lower paw and the adjustable rods can be easily separated and
replaced if damaged.In this research 3D printed prototype of the actual model has been manufactured.
