Meet Easton LaChappelle, The 19-Year-Old Luminary Building a Cheaper, Better
  Prosthetic Limb 
From: UPROXX Tech - 01/12/2015
By: Dan Seitz

Easton LaChappelle taught himself robotics and combined open source designs
with 3D printing to create a completely functional prosthetic arm. Even as
Easton refines his designs, he’s using new and more powerful tools such as
the HP Sprout to post his designs online for anyone to refine, repurpose, and
use. He's not just creating one thing, he's giving everyone the ability to be
their own engineer, to take what was once an involved, arcane process and
make it one anyone can do. As tools such as the HP Sprout continue to
proliferate, making 3D modeling and object scanning as simple as placing the
object under a camera, we’ll continue to find new luminaries, and seeing how
they redefine the world.
