Abstract: A variety of prosthetic knee joints have been manufactured globally over the past decade and they have been ambiguity over prescription criteria, design parameters, kinematic performance of it various designs and counter parts. The aim of this research work is to Fabricate knee joint prototype. In this research, a proposed three-dimensional model of knee is modelled and converted STL file in AutoCAD fusion 360 by using Fused Deposition modelling additive manufacturing process. Fabricated specimen is modelled in software like AutoCAD fusion 360. After getting 3D model, it is then given to FDM machine for building. The knee joint printing time and material consumed is determined. AutoCAD fusion 360 is the first 3D CAD, CAM, CAE and PCB tool of kind, connecting your entire product development process into one cloud-base software. It is the computer aided modelling software to design the model. The model to be designed easily in AutoCAD fusion 360 compared to other software. The modelled prototype is easily converted to STL fie in this software. The resulting knee joint prototype and the process is useful for future development of knee implant for the doctor for surgery and advanced manufacturing process to help the patients who suffering from knee pains.
