3-D Printer Brings Dexterity To Children With No Fingers : Shots – Health News : NPR:

This is just a little of the types of innovation that are possible with such new tech as 3-D printers and an open learning and open sharing mentality.

One guy is a puppeteer, one is great at building prosthetics. Bring them together and hands can be rapidly developed for kids without fingers. Very cool. And if they share their 3D diagrams (CAD/CAM) then everyone following behind can use and/or modify the artificial hand. For example, two kids have similar had problems but one is older (bigger). Image how easy it would be to build for the second kid, once the first had was designed and printed. Simply make the hand proportionately bigger, print and try it. 🙂

Very cool.
