P-03MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING

Hybrid materials, rapid manufacturing

3D printing forms the base of the build, with composite and metal reinforcement in areas that need it.

3D-Printed Polymers
Housings, brackets, structural prototypes, and mechanical components.
Carbon Fiber
Strong, stiff components where weight and rigidity matter.
Fiberglass
Reinforcement for structural areas that require added strength.
PTFE
Lower-friction surfaces for moving joints and contact points.
Brass
Inserts, mounts, and threaded connection points.
Aluminum
Reinforced mounts and load-bearing brackets.

LETO 1 is presented as an engineering concept and is not a certified medical device or commercially available prosthesis.
