It's typically something taken for granted but if you were missing a hand, how would the day go? How would you tie a shoe, fish a dollar from a wallet, or how would a living be made? Leaves one to think, "What should a hand cost?". Ask an amputee in a developing country that question and they'll likely say a hand is priceless. And they'd be right. With little or no infrastructure to support prosthetic care, amputees in areas like Guatemala and Nepal may never see gainful employment. But thanks to the ingenuity of one academic and his dynamic team at the University of Victoria, 3D printing and 3D scanning technology is being used to fundamentally change the access to prosthetic devices.
