BMW Uses 3D Printing to Create Thumb Braces for Employees

This is a great use of 3D printing. BMW has used this technology to create Thumb Braces for their employees. They help prevent repetitive stress injuries, and have been working very well.

Take for example a car manufacturer using the technology not only in helping build cars, but to make sure their employees are safe as well.

At first I didn't know if I could take this seriously, but the more I thought about it, the more I wish I had something like that in my old job...

Now I wonder what kind of hand-bracing pieces I could make for doing yardwork.
