Little Girl Gets 3D Printed Arm from Dolphin with Prosthetic Tail

In 3D printers | No comment

Annika Emmert shares a special connection with Winter the Dolphin – the star of the “Dolphin Tale” movies. Annika was born with amniotic banding, resulting in a shorter right arm and a hand that did not form properly. When Dolphin Tale came out, Annika felt an immediate connection with Winter who swims with a prosthetic tail.   Shortly after, Annika got the opportunity to meet the team from Orlando-based Limbitless and get a 3D printed bionic arm. Limitless uses Stratasys 3D Printers to produce their customized limbs, taking advantage of the durable 3D printing materials and the ability to produce…

Complex Surgical Training with Realistic 3D Printed Simulators

In 3D printers | No comment

Just like a flight simulator, anatomical simulators enable doctors to practice complex surgeries before they operate on the patient. Leveraging Stratasys multi-color, multi-material 3D printing, doctors at University of Malaya create ultra-realistic patient models that mimic, bone, tissue, cartilage, skin, membranes and more. The models are used with actual surgical instruments to better prepare the doctors and also to educate the patients on their upcoming procedures.   Watch this fascinating video to see how the CBMTI is pioneering the use of 3D printing for complex surgeries – both for patient specific models and for producing prototypes of various tools and…
