Orthotic Splint Design - Internship - Biomechanics

Company Description

Leameng OrthoFab Technologies, is a subsidiary of Leameng Solution Technologies is revolutionising orthotic care through digitised solutions that enhance patient rehabilitation. By combining clinical insights, ergonomic engineering, and 3D printing, we deliver customised orthoses designed for optimal comfort, stability, and effective recovery. Based in Thrissur, our advanced products emphasise durability, hygiene, and patient-specific functionality. Committed to accessibility, we collaborate with physiotherapists, orthopedic surgeons, and rehabilitation centres to create cost-effective solutions that cater to diverse clinical needs. Leameng OrthoFab is setting the benchmark for the future of sustainable and innovative orthotic care.

Responsibilities:

Product Design

Develop 3D CAD models of splints (forearm, wrist, palm, immobilization splints) using SolidWorks / CATIA / Fusion / Creo.

Convert 2D sketches + clinical dimensions into functional parametric models.

Apply anthropometric data to design size variants (S/M/L/XL).

Biomechanics & Ergonomics

Apply wrist kinematics, load distribution, pressure points and range-of-motion principles.

Defing key dimensions (e.g., wrist extension angle 2030, palmar curvature, splint length).

Evaluate comfort, fit, ventilation, and off-loading areas.

Material & Process Engineering

Work with 3D printing (SLA/FDM) and medical-grade polymers.

Prepare design files for manufacturing (thickness, lattice, supports).

Testing & Validation

Conduct fit trials, strength checks, stiffness simulations (FEA optional).

Document observations and prepare DFM (Design for Manufacturing) updates.

Ideal Candidate:

B.Tech / B.E in Biomechanics / Industrial Design.

Understanding of human anatomy, joint mechanics, ergonomics.

Prior exposure to CAD or FEA is an advantage.

Interest in medical devices / orthotics / rehabilitation engineering.

Compensation:

• Retainer + per-case incentive (flexible)
• Opportunity to grow into full-time clinical lead

Location:

• Bengaluru /Remote
