Printing Prosthetics

Since starting in 2013 e-Nable has facilitated the production of over 
!,000 prosthetic hands.

With over 5.400 contributing members they are on track to provide prostheses 
to 6.00 people over the next two years.

I was surprised to know that it’s for adults as well as children.

  1. Kia Ora Helena,

    Did you enjoy learning about prosthetics? I had no idea how far prosthetics had been developed with newer technology.. I remember when I broke my wrist and I struggled to do things for a few weeks, so I can’t imagine how hard it would be having no hand at all! I know prosthetics make life a lot easier for both kids and adults who are missing a hand and it means that can do more for themselves instead of relying on other people.

    Keep up the awesome posts.

    Blog ya later,

    Dani

  2. Yes I'm enjoying the summer learning journey, I didn't know much about prosthetics. I just couldn't imagine how hard was it for these people not be able to a simple task like hold a cup of water to drink.
