AmpScan

AmpScan is a Python package that provides matrix manipulation tools specifically for the design of prosthetic sockets. It provides functions for handling common design workflows such as importing, aligning and registering meshes. AmpScan relies heavily on NumPy and SciPy to perform mathematical operations with vizualisation handled by PyQt and VTK. The package is still under development by researchers at the University of Southampton. For full documentation, visit the AmpScan website.
