Students' Designs Give Artifical Limbs a New 'Skin'
From: Medical Design Technology - 06/26/2015

A project by Kansas State University interior architecture & product design
students is giving individuals with prosthetic limbs a chance to add some
personality to their prosthetic and show the students that their discipline
goes beyond creating products or designing spaces.

Using his interest in bio-augmentation through 3D printing, Dustin Headley
and the 27 students in his second-year undergraduate product design studio
class worked with six clients who are leg amputees to design a cover - or
"skin" - that could become part of their prosthetic.
