One of the guys I work with has a little girl who was born without a hand.

One of the other guys I work with has a 3-D printer, which he has used to design and build a prosthetic hand for the little girl, with hinged fingers that flex and grip.

It also glows in the dark. Because she is 7 and glow-in-the-dark hands are cool.

Technology is amazing. And so is the love and generosity of friendship.

Wow to all those things - 3d printers and using them to glow in the dark hands for a friend. Very much wow. *g*

It's clearly the big new thing in prosthetics!

This is the glow-in-the-dark hand my colleague made: Image
He's done it as part of the group called E-Nable (http://enablingthefuture.org/).
