3D Printed Fingers Help Kate a 2 Year old Play Like Other Children

I absolutely love to read stories like this. Who ares if a multi-national company comes up with a new design for a schnugel valve and saves 0.2 cents per unit? 3D printing has improved the quality of life for this little girl, and will continue to do so as she grows. Maybe be the time she is a young lady, 3D printing will be able to provide skin made from her own stem cells to make her prosthetic undetectable.

If a complicated device like a hand can be printed for $5, imagine how little it would cost to improve the lives of children in war-torn Third World countries who have lost body parts due to land mines!

Yep, this is what is so great about tech advances. In the next few years so many people's lives are going to be made better off. In the next few decades, the majority of the planet will be living lives they deserve to live, free of chronic ailments, starvation, and poverty. 3D printing will play a huge role in all of this in my humble opinion.
