American Library Customized 3D Printed Hands for 5 Years Old Girl

In the past few years, 3D printing has covered quite a number of libraries as a fast-growing technology, and many libraries have made 3D printing one of the services they provide to the public.

Here, we will introduce the story of a five-year-old girl, Katelyn Vinick. Katelyn was born in Texas, USA, and her left hand was not fully developed at birth. She has been waiting for an opportunity to fix the left hand function. So she and her family came to the Freeman Branch Library, where Jocelyn H. Lee's Innovation Lab was established. There are free maker spaces, versatile 3D printers and other tools.

Katelyn's mother, Kimberly Vinick, discovered e-NABLE (a public online community dedicated to 3D printed prosthetics) during her research, so she contacted the library to see if they would consider using an open source prosthetic design file to print for Katelyn. Give a hand.

Of course, they are very happy to help. Branch library staff Ferrell and Jim Johnson measured Katelyn's arm and selected the most popular Team Unlimbited Arm prosthesis design on e-NABLE. Then, Ferrel and his team of volunteers started the work, they designed the Katelyn size and printed it out. After a few weeks of designing and tuning prototypes, Ferrell designed a hand that is perfect for Katelyn.
