THE PROSTHETICS CLUB

STUDENTS OF BROCK UNIVERSITY PRESENT

The Club President - Fayyaz Rizvi The Vice President - Koah Ing The Treasurer

• Budr Meqdadi

The Secretary

• Jenna Folk

HOW THE CLUB AND ITS MEMBERS VIEW BROCK

• 7 diverse faculties with a vast multitude
• f programs
• Unrivaled degree programs for

prospective students

• Co-op opportunities and learning options

for maximal exposure

HOW THE CLUB AND ITS MEMBERS VIEW BROCK

• Brock University is more than a school – it is a

community

• There are plenty clubs, intramural sports, and

extracurricular activities

• 17,000 undergraduate students (7,000 engaged

in full-time/part-time studies) and 4,000 graduate alumni

• 55 staff members and 70 full-time faculty

members

• Residence, research

BROCK PROSTHETICS CLUB

• Provides 3-D printed prosthetic limbs to those that are unable to afford them by
• utreaching to the community
• Encourages creative, compassionate, and driven attitudes to the betterment of the

community

• We develop, manufacture, modify and design 3-D printed models of prosthetic

limbs

• Strives to function as a charity to its utmost capacity and if not then to at least lower

the cost of 3-D printed prosthetics to the lowest possible margin

MISSION STATEMENT

• Innovation (to create,

model, enhance and formulate devices)

• Manufacture(Make and

produce prosthetic limbs)

• Community Outreach

(Connect to Niagara Community and Beyond to help and support those in need)

WHAT WE CAN ADD TO BROCK UNIVERSITY

• Increased connection and community interactionfor students
• Engineering learning-based experience
• Something unique as prosthetics, 3-D Printing and a technology-

based club (more exposure and connection with MAKERSPACE

Required 3-D Printer: Ultimaker 3 (Extended) ($6,750.00 CAD)

• Prints various filaments/materials (flexible materials, carbon fiber, metallic material)
• Water dissolvable supports (speed up time and processing of prosthetic limbs as well as

enhanced safety)

• Reduces and minimizes costs as well as time by preventing errors of printing, filament

material,, and damage

• Contains Dual Extruder, prints flexible material and connects to a network of other Ultimaker

users and a reliable company

COMMUNITY – WORLD-WIDE

• Large Organizations where the club can open separate chapters for the

same club

• Enable is a worldwide network with thousands of volunteers working

together to provide and model prosthetic limbs - can help find clients nearby and work with others to formulate innovative ideas

• 3D4MD is a very helpful organization/network that has many professionals

that can make new ideas easily pass through Health Canada and ease the process of approving prosthetic limbs as well as provide projects and clients for the club to work on

HOW COSTS ARE MINIMIZED

• 1. Partnerships and exclusive fundraisers (E.g.

Partnering with Makerspace, BioLinc, etc...)

• 2. The printers available by Makerspace and BioLinc

speed production by assisting with prototyping

• 3. Access to knowledgeable staff for education and

training through 3D4MD, E-Nable, Makerspace staff

• 4. Safe space for storage by Makerspace

Estimated Revenue

Action Revenue

Entrance Fee

$20 per person (~$400 for 20 members)

3D Print Selling

~$100-$200

Outsourcing Prototype Prints

Dependent on Prints (~$50-80)

Fundraising (Power Cord, Hotel Du Shaiver, Prosthetics & Orthodontics) BioLinc Kickstart to Entrepreneurship Stipend

~$850

Minor charge for Prosthetics

Used to offset material cost (by 40%- 50%)

CURRENT STATE OF THE CLUB

• Currently developing and building networks, contacts

and obtaining more individuals that require limbs

• Has limited access to 3-D printing machines and

printing materials

• We use models from E-NABLE

ROLES OF THE CLUB

• Innovator (Designing)
• Manufacture (Modelling and Building prosthetic limbs

accordingly for individuals in need)

• Community Outreach (Connecting and Finding more

clients that the club can serve)

• Fundraiser (Drawing additional funds for the club

through sales, etc..)

POTENTIAL OF THE CLUB

(THE BROCK EXPANSION WILL BE HUGE)

• Reputation
• International
• Community needs (homeless

population, refugees, low- income, etc...)

• Innovation, breakthroughs,

and inventions for MAKERSPACEApplications

• Future growth with

BrockLinc

• The ability to mass

ssivel elyand dramatically reduce the cost

• f acquiring prosthetic limbs

for those in need

• Induction of engineering to

Brock

3-D Printed ed Versus s Myoelec electric Prosthet etics

Our 3-D Printed Prosthetic

• Tend to cost anywhere from

$50 to $400 to make (depending

• n Materials)
• Function virtually the same as

myoelectric arms

• Easily replaceable parts

Myoelectric c Prost sthetic

• May cost between $5,000 and

$42,000 depending on quality and manufacturer

• Have more specific and fine-tuned

expressions

• Worrisome and difficult to replace

Ultimately, The Prosthetics Club will be interdisciplinary which will encourage people from all faculties to collaborate together. Know that the Club only requires this amount for the initial years to set the foundations. Over the next years that the club will be running, it will be self sufficient and will require minimal funding from BUSU ($500/year). This is the next step in the comprehensive development of our university

Together, we can design a brighter future for Brock k Universi sity
