What makes the project inspirational  is what it had been able to do for children.Making prosthesis for kids is an expensive protosition.Give the speed  with which the grow, it means having to replace prosthetics regularly, 3D printing brings to the table the protential for in expensive, and thus easily replaceable, prosthese....

When you work for 3D printing company you get the same question a lot can.i make anything useful with this?. The story of Robohand, a 3D printed prosthesis for amputees, is one of the most powerful answer to that question.

California based non profile not impossible labs got winds of the Robohand project and flew its co-created Richard Van himself an amputee to los Angeles for a training,eventually taking the prosthetic  printing skill they learned, and two MakerBOT replicator 2s, to the mother of mercy hospital in sudan late year.
Name from a teenage amputee who told Time Magazine two year ago, without hands, i can't to anything .it's a place where the loss of a limb carries the very real possibility of death. Last year he received a 3D printed arm while the project has get to make a wide scale differences on the  population of the 50,000 people who lost limbs as a result of Africa's longest war,, the impack on those who have been affected by the project has been hugE.........
