STUDENTS OF BROCK UNIVERSITY PRESENT THE PROSTHETICS CLUB 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 of 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 outreaching 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
WHAT THE CLUB CAN DO WITH FUNDING (MINIMIZED BY 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 https://youtu.be/MG2TXP809iw https://youtu.be/ScfMl3u-uT8
FUNDING Total Approximated Costs (CONTINUED...) $6750 1. 1. Filame ment Materials(PLA, Carbon Fiber, TPU, $ 700 Flexible Material, and Metallic Filaments) ($500) $ 200 2. 2. Tools s and Supplies(minor equipment and tools $ 200 and bank cord – costs can be minimized by $ 500 sharing with MakerSpace) ($200) $ 200 $ 100 + 3. 3. Marketing and Promotion (I.e. Outreach, example on next slide) ($200) $8,650 4. 4.

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 ~$850 Stipend Minor charge for Prosthetics Used to offset material cost (by 40%- 50%)
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..) 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
• Reputation • International • Community needs (homeless population, refugees, low- POTENTIAL income, etc...) • OF THE Innovation, breakthroughs, and inventions for CLUB MAKERSPACEApplications • Future growth with BrockLinc (THE BROCK EXPANSION WILL BE HUGE) • The ability to mass ssivel elyand dramatically reduce the cost of 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 Myoelectric c Prost sthetic • May cost between $5,000 and • Tend to cost anywhere from $42,000 depending on quality and $50 to $400 to make (depending manufacturer on Materials) • Have more specific and fine-tuned • Function virtually the same as expressions myoelectric arms • Worrisome and difficult to replace • Easily replaceable parts
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
