This study tested aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium on two exoskeleton models using ANSYS Static Structural simulations. Aluminum showed the best overall mechanical performance, though each model produced different optimal materials. This confirms that while aluminum is a strong general choice, the ideal material still depends on the device’s specific size, shape, and purpose.
