Incredible See-Through Prosthetics 3D-Printed From Titanium
68Kviews
Who says prostheses have to be expensive? Well, surely not William Root – the creator of the Exo Prosthetic leg.
Using a 3D printer, 3D scanner, and complex 3D modeling software, the industrial designer reduced the amount of labor needed to produce prostheses, therefore making them cheaper. Molded from laser-sintered titanium, not only are these prostheses cheaper, but they’re also lighter and more attractive. Plus, patients can personalize their products with an array of pattern and color choices. You can read Root’s entire proposal for the Exo Prosthetic Leg on Behance.

Would you want to wear one?
If I needed a prosthetic, hell yea. It's lighter, stronger, and cooler than the old tech.
@ Cassie - pardon me for not being an American - it seems you just spew "I love it!" all over. To me the original post just looks like an unwarranted enthusiasm.
Ah, but you can love it without needing it yourself. There exists a need for such devices as well as a desire for them to be more attractive in addition to more functional. This thing fits the bill.
@ Cassie - the point was there is no need to "love it" in advance.
Now he made a space for a bottle of Scotch. Nice...
Dang, now me wants that Scotch :(
wow! such great idea!
