Printing Prosthetics

For the summer learning journey we had to watch this video about 3D printed prosthetics (artificial body parts, like hands or arms).

Also we had to think about

One thing that you learned from watching this video
One thing that surprised you when watching this video

I learnt that you can make 3-D printed prosthetic hands.
The thing that suprises me is that the 3-D printed hands are free.

  1. Kia Ora Nicholas,

    It’s amazing to see the different kind of prosthetics isn’t it! 3D printers are always developing and becoming better and better. Did you know that prosthetics used to be handmade from wood and iron? We have come a long way since the 17th century. These days prosthetics are lightweight and easy to use unlike the heavy wooden counterparts. I think they are free because the government or an organisation will be paying for them to be made. That way the people who need them don’t need to pay.

    Blog ya later!
