Abstract	This Project Presents the Design And Optimization of a Prosthetic Limb using Topology Optimization Techniques in Ansys, with the Primary Objective of Minimizing Mass While Maintaining Structural Integrity. the Initial Design Underwent A Detailed Finite Element Analysis (Fea), Followed By Topology Optimization to Retain Only 30% of The Original Mass. the Optimization Process Strategically Removed Non-load-bearing Material, Resulting in a Lightweight Yet Structurally Efficient Geometry. the Optimized Design Was Then Fabricated using Fused Deposition Modeling (Fdm) With Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (Abs) as The Printing Material.post-printing, the Physical Prototype Was Evaluated to Validate Its Structural Viability. the Outcome Demonstrates the Potential Of Topology Optimization in Improving The Performance and Manufacturability of Prosthetic Components, Paving the Way for More Sustainable And Cost-effective Medical Solutions
