Abstract. The purpose of this article is to develop a model and study an English bulldog endoprosthesis made with the help of additive techniques. An analysis of the literature shows the lack of such studies, including both additive techniques and topological optimization of prostheses. Before starting the actual study, general objectives were developed, which took into account the following: prosthesis assembly, fabrication technologies, fabrication conditions, shape, and range of work of the prosthesis. The dimensions of the prosthesis were identified based on the characteristics of the breed – the English bulldog. In the next step, the technology and construction materials were selected. The modeling of the prosthesis was based on the parameterization of dimensions. The parameters were linked by a skeletal model. Also, the objectives necessary to determine the factor of safety were defined. Boundary conditions were determined for the purpose of numerical calculations. The results in the form of reduced stresses and displacement distributions were presented on the maps. In the next part, topological optimization was performed, assuming the high stiffness of the system. Reduced stress maps and displacement distributions were generated for these results with the help of the FEM method. Validation of numerical calculations with real ones was performed.
