Abstract: To overcoming the limitations of the plaster-casting method in traditional prosthetic socket fabrication, an innovative reverse engineering application for reconstructing the bones and skin-soft tissues of the residual limb is proposed. Given the two-dimensional image through CT scanning, using image processing and reconstruction techniques, the 3D solid model of the residual limb can be regenerated successfully. The reconstructed models strongly resemble the original entity and the approach can reproduce the internal and external structure of the residual limb. In addition, it can provide a scientific basis for the individualized prosthetic socket design in the future.
