MatterThings, one of e-Nable‘s volunteers in Pincourt, the West Island of Montreal (Quebec) Canada is donating twenty-five (25) 3D mechanical prosthetic hands for kids to help meet worldwide demand.
MatterThings is using a MakerBot Replicator 2 to build the prosthetic hand kits in PLA (Polylactic Acid or Polylactide) – a bioplastic derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch. It takes approximately 6 hours to 3D print each kit.
