3D Printers; new life for a dog

The video is a must see.
He was also born with small forearms

In a heartwarming promotion for 3D systems, a 3D printing company, a dog named Derby tries out a pair of 3D-printed prosthetic legs. The dog has “a congenital deformity characterized by small forearms and no front paws,” according to a statement.

Before Derby got his new legs, he could only move around on soft surfaces indoors, so the new legs are supposed to help him get around on hard surfaces like sidewalks without injuring himself. His owner Dom Portanova says, “He runs faster than the both of us.”

As CEO of 3D Systems Avi Reichental summed up 3D printing’s influence to TIME earlier this year, “This is one of those technologies that literally touches everything we do.”

:agree: amazing technology only limited by what you want to use it for, depending on the raw material - even parts for guns?! Chambers, Barrels - nah - maybe not, no - not yet! :D
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!
