    The objective of this project is to make a design and manufacture a prototype prosthesis for a dog that has suffered an amputation, it can produce serious problems of health like muscular dystrophies, but in contrast to humans, there is not a high supply of this type of device on the market. As an alternative, it has been sought to make a design that meets the needs of the animal in a program which can draw the piece in a computer, then the element is subjected to a static analysis by simulation. Checked as a simulation, we proceed with the printing of the element and the assembly of the prototype, obtaining a functional and comfortable element. The same was subjected to tests, with the benefited can, this presents an optimal development in terms of comfort and functionality. Therefore, it is concluded that the realization of prostheses through additive technology is not only possible but also an alternative that reduces weight, costs and time. In addition to providing enormous ease of design and manufacturing.
