Robert Dauni Jr. took part in the Limbitles Solutions project of one of the American research universities and gave a 7-year-old fan of the Iron Man, a hand prosthesis copying the glove of Robocostyum. The purpose of LimBitless Solutions is to develop and release cheap limbs prostheses that are made by 3D printing.
Children often have to do without prostheses, since their manufacture is an expensive “pleasure”: the constant growth of the body forces to change artificial limbs relatively often.
The Limbitles Solutions prostheses printed on a 3D prosthesis are capable of basic functions, and the cost of materials spent on its manufacture is about $ 350. This amount is considered insignificant in this case, however, recipients of prostheses do not pay such money: project participants provide them for free.
Video with the transfer of the prosthesis as a gift has already collected more than 7.5 million views on YouTube. The young company Limbitless Solutions hopes that the participation of Dauni the Younger will attract the attention of the right people to their activities, which is very important for them, since the business is at present.
