Great Project Idea
Pitch for a potential project here.
As students of North Carolina State University, we have redesigned the Trautman hook for a class project to address certain areas such as failure due to low mechanical strength, seizing of the screws and hole wallowing and we have researched different manufacturing methods to make the prosthesis more affordable given today's technology. To see what we have come up with, you can check out the links below:
