Hockey Skate Adapter. a Blade mount was CT scanned at 0.625Â mm slice increments and then reconstructed. STL file was exported. b Computer Aided Design and freeform articulating surfaces created. c Files were aligned with the reconstruction of the skate blade mount. d Connecting geometry (posts) added between entities. e Three part assembly manufactured from titanium alloy using an electron beam melting machine. f & g Prosthetic attachments allow patients to enjoy skating or play stand up hockey
