Kid Creating Nine 3D Printed Prosthetic Hands

Cameron Haight, a child of four years old born in North Carolina has helped in making nine 3D printed prosthetic hands. Haight helped in creating 3D printed prosthetic hands for children like him who have problems in their limbs. Since he was born, the fingers of his right hand were fused together
Why Haight Needed 3D Printed Prosthetic Hand?
At the age of 4, most of the children are busy in playing with toys. However, things were not so easy for Haight. He was born with amniotic band syndrome – a congenital disorder affecting the limb of a child while growing in the womb. After Haight was born, he was operated for 15 times. Still, he was unable to perform certain tasks using his right hand due to its lack of dexterity. However, when he was fitted with 3D printed prosthetic hand, the 4 years old was soon able to take part in various activities.
