The thesis deals with the design of a transtibial prosthesis by additive manufacturing technology. Based on walking biomechanics and the current situation of knowledge a prosthetic foot has been designed for a patient with low level of physical activity. Furthermore, the thesis describes the design of an individual socket for the patient. The socket has been designed by reverse engineer procedure based on the three-dimensional geometry of patient´s stump obtained by 3D scanning. Testing samples of the foot and the socket have been made for the check of functionality of both the devices and then subjected to mechanical tests in accordance to the methodology regulation ISO 10328. Finally, the thesis depicts the FDM technology used for the production of functional samples of the designed devices; assembly of modular transtibial prosthesis and its testing by the patient.
