Customization is one of the primary benefits of 3D printing, and one man is taking that potential to the next step. Øystein Krog has come up with the design for a new computer keyboard which could benefit typists everywhere. The 3D Ergodox, which is still in the design phase, is curved to match the natural bend of a particular user's fingers, lessening the potential for carpal tunnel and other painful conditions. Once the curve is defined for how a person's fingers move, Krog's code automatically does the rest of the work to customize the keyboard. While Krog's current 3D printer is not large enough to create a working prototype at the moment, he is hoping to remedy that soon and produce a viable prototype.
