This project introduces a novel exo knee brace, innovatively designed to be manufactured using 3D printing technology. Aimed at creating a cost-effective alternative to the currently available options, this brace incorporates a belt and pulley system to provide support and mobility to individuals suffering from knee-related issues. The design leverages the versatility and accessibility of 3D printing, allowing for customizability and scalability. By integrating a mechanical belt and pulley system, the exo knee brace enhances user comfort and adaptability, making it suitable for a wide range of activities and user requirements. This approach not only reduces production costs but also promises to make advanced knee support more accessible to those in need, potentially revolutionizing the orthopedic support market.
