Fig. 7From: A rapid and intelligent designing technique for patient-specific and 3D-printed orthopedic cast a The boundary condition of FEA analysis. A 3Mpa pressure is applied on the cast, and two opening edges are applied fixed support. b Results of finite element analysis. The maximal stress is around 10.18Mpa (left) and the maximal deformation is 0.15 mm (right). High stresses and deformities occur in the areas where mechanical loads are appliedBack to article page
