The scope of the work is to design, develop and analyze Prosthetic foot made by using additive manufacturing technique, it also deals with the complete design process of a motion prosthetic foot manufactured by using Poly lactic acid (PLA) material. Along with the fabrication process we also tried to minimize the weight of prosthetic foot by applying topology optimization from ANSYS Workbench. The topology optimized model is printed using a 3D printer. In order to validate the structure many elemental analysis and experiments conducted on the structure. As the weight of the prosthetic directly affects the mobility of patients, the foot should be optimized to weigh on the lesser side. So, by doing what is necessary the weight should be reduced while the structure maintained at a high strength.
