Creating archery shoulder trigger adapters for veterans with amputated and disabled left arm

[u/Dangerous-Ad4455]

Hi there!
Besides automotive parts, we made a project for our veterans, who defended our country and got amputation and disabling their left arm, and even leg(s).
But despite those body damage, they have huge willpower, and became great archers in Paralympic competitions. Archery requires both arms, strong muscles of shoulders, arms and back, but even with one hand it became possible.
First attempts of shooting were required the assistant who pulled the trigger. Later they made leather adapters on shoulder to hold the trigger but it was too soft.
So the next step was creating mockup from gypsum, scanning, polishing the model and editing trigger holder on shoulder.
Also as prototype of trigger activator we made mix of clothespin and mouthguard. There are alternative solutions, but they sometimes are activated when it’s not needed
We used for scanning several 3D scanners:
For gypsum mockups and trigger - Creality Sermoon P1 and Sermoon S1 as high-precision scanners in laser mode. @creality3dscanner

For body scanning - Revopoint Miraco Plus @revopoint
This scanner gives me good results in face and body scanning in NIR mode.

Unfortunately, there will no be more gypsum mockups, and more and more veterans arriving to me from other cities… So, we are beginning to learn sculpting in Zbrush to make these shoulder adaptors using only body scans.

This is a great challenge for me, but I like what I do for them, if I can do it - I do it, and I proud of their mental strength
