Students Design 3D Printed Robotic Arm for Child
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/12/2014

Stratasys Ltd. announced that University of Central Florida (UCF) Engineering
Students have developed a robotic arm for 6-year-old Alex Pring, using a
Stratasys 3D Printer. Born without his right arm, Pring always dreamed of
climbing trees or shaking hands. His dreams came true thanks to UCF
engineering students who designed and 3D printed a functional prosthetic arm.
Aerospace engineering PhD student and Fulbright Scholar Albert Manero is a
volunteer at E-Nable, a network of 3D printing enthusiast’s whose goal is to
develop 3D prosthetic hands for those in need. Manero met Alex and his family
through the E-Nable online network.
