Prosthetics

Innovation still continues in the sporting world; this field is somewhat unique as it's an intimate mesh of physics, engineering and biology.

The Million Waves Project launched a new initiative that hopes to both reduce ocean plastics while also tackling another problem – the lack of affordable prosthetic limbs available in the developing world.

Unlimited Tomorrow is collaborating with 3D printing giant Stratasys and 3D software provider Dassault Systemes to create low-cost, highly functional prosthetic arms for those who need them most.

The customized design and production of the 3D printed hydraulic prosthetic has delivered cost savings of up to 76%, as well as time savings in design and production of 90%, compared with traditional methods of manufacture.

The CAP Project connects injured pets with designers who can provide 3D-printed prosthetics and assistive devices.

The device is completely created from a single Keurig coffee maker.

As founder and CEO of Titan Robotics, Clay Guillory leads a small team in Colorado Springs, CO, that designs, manufactures, markets and installs two industrial plastic extrusion 3D printers.
