Oh my god. Natasha my friend! Long time no see. I just realized you had the accident from this video, so sorry! But happy to see you still have your signature positive smile!! I am still in Halifax. Beautiful work!

Very Impressive. Well done!!

These are beautiful designs. I would have half a dozen styles for sure! -O&P Technician

3D Printing is changing the world as we know it. Really hope it keeps changing the world for the better.

This is great.

i was wondering if the socket and was 3d printed as well or just the panels

im from the phil. do u have a foundation my 3yr old daughter needs a prosthetic foot from a gongenital birth condition

I wish i had one and also prosthetic 🙂

hola necesito información por favor!

Can you please tell what material they used to make a prosthetic limb

Any way to contact her?? I really need some help

very good ... but can't afford it

pretty sure im gonna have one or both of my legs amputated in about 20 or 30 years due to diabetes. future looks promising. should start saving up now

These 3-D printed plastic devices sound like a good idea. One problem, there is no way to reproduce the care and skill of a qualified prosthetist. I agree that many people have problems with funding and there should be initiatives to help those people. Everyone deserves to be functional. This is a recipe for major problems. What's next, home surgery kits? How many people would buy into a device bought from Amazon that would do brain surgery for $100. Well, the cost of insurance in the US drives people to try things like this. If you need a prosthesis, find the right prosthetist and he or she will find a way to get you what you need. The right person won't give up when insurance does. I have been a prosthetist for over twenty years and I never give up for my patients. I hope that some day we can use this technology properly to add to the service prosthetists provide but it is its infancy. Just dont fall for the hype.

why is she carrying it instead of wearing it?

Nice advertisement but it's not a 3D printed prosthesis. They make no mention of the technique materials or technology used to produce the socket. It appears to be a 3D printed cosmetic fairing for her prosthesis. 18 days to make a a prosthesis isn't really much to brag about. Yes, it usually takes me longer when I'm working with a full patient load but if I focus on one patient who is available to come in for fittings I can knock one out in 2 to 3 days. This a nice piece artistically and the technology has lots of potential but there isn't much in depth information here and there is lots of hype. To quote the video's own description...they "went from design to prototype in only two weeks" "Prototype" not finished usable product and there is no such thing as a "stock prosthetic". Prostheses are custom made devices. If she is happy with herself and her prosthesis that is what is important for her but over all this is just one more piece of advertising that gives the false impression that 3D printers run by kind hearted people can make better prostheses then experienced prosthetists can.

So they 3d printed a few decorative panels to dress up her leg. This would've been cool 10 years ago, but it's old hat now.
