Unleashing the joint power of virtual prototyping and human modelling to address ergonomics of clinical limb and body supportive products.
3D scanning and reverse engineering, CAD techniques and inspections, topographical and topological optimization, material selection for proper additive manufacturing, CAE assessments, etc are all the basic constituents of this project.
In compare to the available methods to reduce the cost and time of the clinical orthosis realization while more flexibly customizing it in the best interest of the doctor and patient a semi-automatic system has been schematized for the purpose. The system operations have been recognized in details and performed by authors manually to investigate the possible challenges in case of a arm/hand orthosis with focus on wrist injuries. Addressing such challenges and characterizing the elemental tools required by such system were done using multiple commercial software packages in Reverse Engineering, CAD and CAE fields. The orthosis was optimized in an ergonomic manner favoring the fast prototyping as well as medical concerns. Many valuable point were drawn at the end as conclusion of this pilot study enhancing the concept in structural optimization and bio-mechanical considerations. The similar researches, up to the end of this report, lack purposeful topology design, envisioning an automated system and critical medical cases manifesting in bio-mechanical scenarios for product integrity assessments. All the previous points can be find in this report.

To whom it may concern
October 22nd, 2017
I am writing this reference at the request of Amiri Ardalan who is applying for a position in your
organization.
I have known Mr. Ardalan for one semester in my capacity as an Associate Professor of Machine Design at
Politecnico di Milano (Technical University of Milan), School of Industrial Engineering, Department of
Mechanical Engineering, Milan, Italy.
Mr. Ardalan attended my course on Lightweight Design of Mechanical Structures in the second semester of
the academic year 2016-2017.
He was one of the students of the course who demonstrated the greatest interest into the topics of the course.
He attended regularly, and he completed the assigned homework tasks in time and with great accuracy.
During these activities I was able to appreciate his commitment, his skills and abilities, which I would rank as
extremely high.
I highly recommend him to you without reservation. If you should ever need any additional information you
can feel free to contact me at +39 02 2399 8222 or by email at andrea.bernasconi@polimi.it anytime.
Sincerely Yours,
