Orthopedic implants like the artificial hip implant are designed to mimic the natural movement and functions of a natural hip implant. The ball and socket part of the prosthesis is under tensile stress and compression from erratic movements done in day-to-day life. As a result, the hip implant is used when the patient is suffering from either excessive usage or further complications elicited by other diseases. Implants should be designed to last around twenty years.

Design Project Two required our team to build and design a hip implant for a total hip replacement. The milestones, final deliverable, and logbook for Design Project Two have been posted below to document our team's journey to collaboratively incorporate our creativity and ideas to develop a conceptual design by coding and Autodesk Inventor to produce a 3D-printed prototype of our hip implant. For this project, my Administrative Role was Subject Matter Expert.
