This young girl was one of 20 handicapped children to received a free hand prosthesis as part of a charity drive in the South American country of Uruguay over the weekend. The prosthetics were custom designed according to the desires and needs of each child on a 3D printer by inventor Gino Tubaro from Atomic Lab, a startup which specialises in developing affordable prosthesis for people in need in his home country of Argentina and across South America. Kids were able to choose their favorite colors and try out the 3D printed prosthetics in front of their loved ones. Gino's work brought smiles to the faces of children and parents alike. Together with his partners, Gino also runs 'Hand4Hand,' an affordable 3D printed prosthetics programme, and is in the process of developing an Atomic Printer, a mobile phone-sized 3D printer which is powered by a USB port. 3D printing has so much potential to improve the lives of average people and can greatly bring down the cost of prosthetics.
