Prosthetics that try to look like real legs are so whack. Make a cool black one, so I can look like a cyborg, not a mannequin.

It's great that robot looking prosthetics are becoming acceptable. Functionality is the most important factor. However, I do understand that sometimes you might not want the attention.

If I ever get a prosthetic limb, i dont want it to look creepy and manequin-like, I would much rather have the full futuristic machine design. it is way cooler IMO

Sorry, but no "modern" posthesis is really fully reliable - and they are expensive. The best and most comfortable leg prosthesis is and will remain the good old peg leg, or the long "stubby" leg.

Scanning the residual makes for exact modelling no pressure unlike plaster. I would be interested if reverse scanning can produce a more life like result, that's if you are not already doing that. I am a dental tech we use similar technology, thanks for posting this.
