Abstract: A method of manufacturing a prosthetic socket for use by a patient comprising dispensing a source material to form a layer of material, repeating the dispensing to form a plurality of stacked layers, forming in each one of a subset of the plurality of layers, when dispensing the material, one or more channels, wherein the channels formed in each of the subset of layers communicate with each other to form a complete channel having a selected length and shape, completing the dispensing of the source material to form the prosthetic socket, and filling the channels with a bonding material such that the bonding material strengthens the bond between adjacent ones of the subset of the plurality of layers having the channels formed therein.
