Abstract

Traditional methods of creating prosthetics are often expensive, time-consuming, and lack personalization. However, 3D printing technology has emerged as a transformative force that can address these challenges. The purpose of this abstract is to analyze the research documents on this topic from Scopus, a database of peer-reviewed literature and scientific information. The search query was TITLE-ABS-KEY (prosthetic AND hand AND 3d AND printing) AND PUBYEAR > 2012 AND PUBYEAR < 2024, which returned 236 documents in total. The document analysis reveals that the research on prosthetic hands using 3D printing technology has increased over time, especially in 2020 and 2022. In conclusion, the research on prosthetic hands using 3D printing technology is a growing and diverse field that involves many researchers, institutions, countries/territories, and disciplines. The use of various filaments such as PLA, TPU, and silicone rubber has enabled the creation of low-cost, functional, and customizable prosthetic devices. However, there is still room for improvement and further research in this field to continue advancing this important technology.
