Above is the CAD model of the new foot sole section with further adjustments. These adjustments include modifying the length of the sole, the height of the hinges, and the filleted edges.  This new adjusted part will hopefully provide our project with the durability to endure the extreme stress on the 3-D printed part while walking. This product is designed at a right angle which brings great difficulty in 3-D printing. With extreme stress on this right angle, the correct durable plastic needs to be picked, with certainty, to ensure patients with a sturdy brace.
