construct prosthesis

Hi folks,

I would like to know how prostheses constructed.
I want to apply to a company which manufactures many types of prostheses.
Which templates are used for this? (3d-scans, X-ray images, pictures etc.)

Thanks

Frederik

This might help? Maybe not, I have never made one or worked for any company making them.

I am a prosthetist and have fabricated prosthetic devices for 8 years. what kind of fabrication procedures are you interested in? Are you just looking for a general breakdown of what it is all about?
