“A 2-year-old girl named Emma has a congenital condition called arthrogryposis which doesn’t allow her to lift her arms on her own. Dr. Tariq Rahman of the Center for Orthopedics Research and Development at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware and research designer Whitney Sample helped Emma gain mobility by fitting her with (what she calls) ‘magic arms’, a custom-made 3D-printed Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (WREX) that mounts on her wheelchair. The WREX is normally metal, which would have been too heavy for a child to use, but by printing it out on a Stratasys 3D printer, they were able to make it lightweight (but durable) enough for her tiny frame.” • #trendtaste • #будущее_прекрасно - × × ×
