Moderators hazelnut Posted July 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2014 A bit of good tech news for a change. A young boy has a bionic arm made by a 3d printer. http://abc13.com/health/boys-bionic-arm-made-with-3d-printer-could-change-world-of-medicine/223874/ Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaldiE Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It is great! 3D printing is limited by structural features of materials it can machine, but in this case it seems weight and strength of the arm makes it functional. 3D printing excels over traditional machining in ability to customize and test prototype designs, shortening modeling trial/error cycle, and this make it very well suited for prosthesis as a lot of testing is usually involved to match the perfect fit. Of course this is easy to understand how this is even more important to update developmental age patients’ prosthesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
