Dog with a birth defect forepaws had the opportunity to run through the 3D printing

Derby - a dog, who was born with deformed front legs. If it were not for the owners, the dog would have died very early in life. But thanks to the kennel Peace and Paws dog managed to survive, and even find new owners. And now, thanks to new technologies, from Derby turns even run, although I receive only crawl.

Experts have developed special prostheses that have been printed on a 3D printer. The work has been done a lot, but everything turned out perfectly. Prosthetic work carried out by 3D Systems. Director of Derby read the story at the kennel, and decided to help the animal.

Specialists создали prostheses , which are similar to children "jumping shoes," and provide the opportunity to Derby normal movement. The result - a happy dog ​​who managed to run for the first time in my life.



In principle, this is not the first story of the animal care by specialists for 3D printing. Now these cases are increasing, and 3D printing has become an indispensable tool in many cases, including medicine (prosthetics vertebrae, the individual bones of the skull bones).
