Abstract: A system and a method for creating prosthetics using a prosthetic machine are disclosed. The method includes creating a three dimensional (3D) shape of a prosthetic using a software. Successively, the 3D shape is sent for printing based at least on an availability of a printer. The printing is achieved by taking the 3D shape and slicing into very thin horizontal slices and thereafter placing a slice upon a slice for the 3D shape. Further, granular polycarbonate material is placed in a cartridge at the top of a compression head. Further, granules are fed through a four stage heating and compression process. Further, a heated plastic is pressurized and forced through an extruder to extrude in a 1 mm×4 mm ribbon. Thereafter, a printed object is formed on a base plate through motion that is controlled by a plurality of linear axes and a rotary axis.
