Elle: The Incredible 3D Printed Swimming Leg for Amputees
The capabilities of 3D printing have enabled many individuals to live more fulfilling lives. We have seen literally hundreds of 3D printed prosthetic hands, thanks to organizations such as E-nabling The Future, and designers are constantly striving to reach new heights in the creation of a variety of other types of prosthetic limbs. There will eventually come a time when technology converges with biology to give us all superhuman capabilities if we choose. I’m certainly not suggesting that people will be running to their surgeons in order to have their limbs amputated in favor of some new mechanical or even 3D printed device; however, those with missing limbs today may soon be more capable then typical able bodied individuals. Or is this already happening as we speak?
