3D Accuracy’s Robert Schaefer shows off a fresh print
Schaefer wrote on his blog. “Since 3D Accuracy doesn’t know a US veteran in need it can’t be done without your help. I need readers to send the names of US veterans in need of a 3D Printed prosthetic device. All names will be placed in a random draw and one US Veteran whose name is selected in the drawing will be provided with a free 3D Printed prosthetic device made of real ABS thermoplastic.”
Obviously an offer like this is going to be in high demand so
The selected vet will need to provide all 3D CAD data for the prosthetic device, however 3D Accuracy is willing to consult with their US Veterans doctor to help ensure the device will fit properly. This is open to any type of prosthetic device in need and not limited to hands, legs or arms. The vet can have their prosthetic 3D printed in a variety of color options, and can even have it painted and finished in a color that matches their skin tone.
You can find out more information directly from Shaefer and the 3D Accuracy blog here, and you can review the material and color options available for the prosthetic device here. You can also find 3D Accuracy on Facebook and Twitter.
