Abstract
This study aimed to creating a new innovative foot using composite filament by a 3D printer. Tensile and hardness tests were conducted on the prepared samples, in addition to fatigue, dorsiflexion and ground reaction force tests for the prosthetic foot and a comparison was made between the newly prosthetic-feet and the (SACH) foot. The results showed that a newly designed Prosthetic-Foot surpasses (SACH) foot in terms of performance, cost-effectiveness, longevity, dorsiflexion angle, stability, weight and comfort for the amputee.
