Outsourcing and expensive tools have been obstacles to mass customization for years. Matthew Mikosz, founder of Partial Hand Solutions, has experimented with all kinds of workflows to create patient-specific prostheses while aiming to keep costs down. When we began shipping the Fuse 1, possibilities opened up to produce truly custom, cost-effective, and high-performance prosthesis. In this Office Hours session, go inside Matthew’s workshop and see his end-to-end workflow in action. He will share an in-depth case study of a pediatric prosthesis, discuss various finishing techniques for nylon parts, and speak to what’s possible with the Fuse 1.

What you will learn:

  • How a business owner chose the Fuse 1 to fabricate custom finger and hand prosthesis
  • What’s possible on the Fuse 1, from articulated structures to hardware attachments
  • How to finish nylon parts with methods such as painting, dyeing, and ceramic polishing
