If you are asking where can I 3D print customized prosthesis and braces, we got you covered!

Bodies of animals differ from species to species and to humans, that is why there is no right way to build an animal orthosis or prosthesis.

But since the boom of technology and more advanced processes, an initial evaluation of animals can now be done through veterinarians.

That is why the application of animal prosthetics is growing in numbers. Although it still has a huge problem, accessibility.

So in this article we will talk about the places where you can print animal prosthetics to provide support for your pets.

Why are Animal Prosthetics and Braces important?

Here are five reasons why animal prosthetics and braces are important, not only for you but with your pets too.

1. Alternative to Surgery

Surgeries are painful. Animals are like humans too, they feel pain and they need a large amount of time to recover. 

Although surgeries are scientifically effective, small animals cannot handle the operation yet. That is why some pet owners settle for braces and prosthetics to give their pets support until the vet’s advice for operation.

Braces and prosthetics also help pets to avoid minor or major injuries.

2. Cost Effective

Besides being painful, surgeries and injuries can also be costly.

But by ignoring mobility issues or discomfort that your dog is having now, you could be setting them up for a pricier and more involved injury later.

So as an immediate response, you can give your  pet braces and prosthetics. Not only that it will help them recover, it is less costly than medical bills.

Take the initiative and save yourself the grief and cost in the long run!

3. Durable & Customized Fit

The biggest perk of 3D printing fabrication of  assistive devices is customization.

Before 3D printing materials, it first undergoes a series of checking, modeling, and designing to reach the desired fit and comfort.

It is important that 3D providers cooperate with your pet’s vet to ensure that the new brace or prosthetic meets all of their functional and therapeutic needs. Even more so, your assistance is needed as well to check the quality of materials used.

To make it easy, some companies offer 3D scanning technology to get the right dimension of the body part quickly.

4. Provides Support & Increased Mobility

Dogs with missing limbs, arthritis, joint deviations, or other injuries or discomfort can have increased issues with getting around. 

By 3D printing supports for them, you can help them make simple tasks such as walking and jumping easy. It helps them get back to their normal system.

Prosthetics and braces minimize discomfort, provide support and stability, increase mobility, and prevent further stress.

5. Promotes a Happy & Healthy Life

Providing your dog with their unique prosthetic or orthotic solution is about more than just healing and mobility – it’s about giving your pup the quality of life they deserve. 

Braces and prosthetics can help your dog live a happy and healthy life. With the help of these assistive devices they can run, jump and play around with other dogs as well.

Like humans, injuries can cause mental stress on them as well. So it is very important to create a natural and normal sense of life for them.

Take note that these not only apply for dogs. Cats and birds need support as well. Do not hesitate to print devices for them.

Conclusion

Pets are more than family, do you agree?

That is why they deserve the absolute best care there is and besides, they are like us, as well. They get hurt, experience both happiness and sadness. Injuries can stress them and in order for them to live a better life they need our support.

Prosthetics and braces are applicable to all types of dogs, cats and birds. And it will surely make a huge difference in their life. 

What are the companies that can provide animal Prosthetics?

Sadly dog prosthetic companies are not very abundant in the Philippines. Meaning there is scarcity in places to 3d print. There are small-time businesses that offer aid and support to animals, but they are not established and well known as well.

What’s more, there is one company that will be able to assist you with your pet’s disability. 

And that is 3D2GO.

It was September 2013 when the founder of 3D2Go attended the 2013 3D Printing Expo in New York City. While in the city, he studied the potential of additive manufacturing and its possible application.

Believing that it is time for the Philippines to adopt 3D technologies, he built a studio in the metro that same year. Although it still took him months of research, testing and evaluations before the business started rolling.

Today, 3D2GO is known as the only one-stop-shop of everything 3D. They are also the only company that can offer end-to-end full-service from modeling to post processing. 

Even more so, their services branched out from 3D printing to 3D scanning, prototyping, modeling and designing. And because of this, they are now the most trusted 3D printing company of well-known businesses.

What is unique about 3D2Go is they specialized in creating prosthetics for animals.

They have powerful scanners that can easily scan the dimension, length, width and size of an animal’s missing body part. On top of that, they also have  printers that can create sturdy bionic legs, arms or beaks using thermoplastic materials.

3D2Go is the only well-known 3D printing service provider for animal prosthetics in the Philippines, as of writing. 

What other things the market has to offer?

Besides 3D2Go, there are a few organizations and companies that offer assistance to disabled animals.
