Create magic hands for girls age 2 through 3D printing technology

A 2-year-old girl was able to move his arm to do a normal job because modern technology has been applied. Instead of using the heavy metal frame to help move equipment, scientists in the United States has made a plastic skeleton from 3D printing technology. As a result, the support frame was able to move more suited to small body of her message.   Emma Lavelle was born with musculoskeletal disorders at birth. She can not make the move to hold objects, stroking her hair ... as the baby peers. Treatment with traditional equipment can not WREX has made on Emma. Metal frame to support and support limbs with artificial joints is large in size and not suitable for children over 2 years only.   Therefore, the scientists turned to 3D printing technology to produce joints with plastic arms control. The engineers have developed from the computer chassis to suit the size of the girls arm, from which to create finished products using 3D printers. After installation of the frame, Emma was able to move his arm to do the jobs they like easily than ever before. She was able to play, easy meals and hugged his parents, without resort to other assistance. Magic arm can easily be adjusted when Emma grows large, consistent with the development of bone.   Source: AllThingsd ...
