Prosthetics

3D printing has made prosthetic design and production incredibly more affordable for those that are missing limbs. In general, prosthetics can cost a family anywhere from $5000 -$50,000, resulting in a significant financial burden. Moreover, prosthetics need to be custom fit to the individual, requiring a production time on the order of weeks or months.

The affordability of 3D printers and the ability for anyone to design and print custom design parts has made prosthetics radically more affordable and accessible to people all over the world.
