David Rake - Week 5 - Prosthetic Sketch


Concept:
I bike regularly so in a situation, where I lost a leg, it would be of high priority for myself to regain the ability to bike. The Prosthetic has 4 sets of gears resembling the gears on the bike. The top row has 16 teeth each and the bottom row has 12 teeth each. Each set has a chain in-between the the two gears.

Technique:
I plan to use polar array for rough placement of the gears and chains. Duplication will be used heavily to create the chain links and gears. Manipulation of individual pieces will be used to conform the object to the shape of the leg.

Materials:
Planned to ideally use metal parts, like gears and chains now, but metal 3d printing is not quite affordable and readily available.
