I had NO idea that this was happening:

There is an entire community of people who are designing 3D printed arms for children who are missing limbs. THIS!!! This is the reason why 3D printers are important. This is why they are going to change the world, not all that Cory Doctorow stuff. Being able to print up a prosthetic arm for your child and when he grows up a bit, being able to print up a bigger one is AMAZING!!

It’s all because of E-nabling The Future:

• E-nabling The Future | A network of passionate volunteers using 3D printing to give the World a “Helping Hand.”

They have a variety of designs available online here:

• Upper Limb Prosthetics | E-nabling The Future

THIS is the future that I want to see of 3D printing, not silly little toys and gadgets. THIS changes childrens’ lives!
