The dog's life is complete: Shencanzhijian's doggy people print the first time with the help of 3D

Derby is a dog born with a disability.

At birth, the Derby's two front legs were misshapen, without feet, unable to run, and even difficult to stand on--most of the time bowing to the floor with a deformed front leg and half to the ground. In the world of Derby, God gave it a good heart, but deprived it of the right to run freely.

Tara Anderson, director of the 3D Print company 3D Bae, had adopted the derby from the Stray Dog Relief agency Corps and Paws. Tara in the video that every time she saw the photos and stories of Debbie, she couldn't help crying. So she decided to print a prosthetic limb for the Derby 3D.

In the real sense that Derby could run as freely as other dogs, they gave up the simple two-wheel-drive program on their front legs. Inspired by child upper (jump shoe), Tara the prosthetic limb into a circle-like shape to prevent the derby from sinking in with prosthetic limbs. The final result is that Derby finally experienced the feeling of free running for the first time, and it was very happy.

In this process, 3D scanning technology allows designers to quickly and easily modify the micro-structure of the digital model, while the 3D printing technology ensures that other workers can quickly upgrade and implement these modified models. Derby is an excellent example of the need to constantly adjust the height of the prosthetic limb to allow the derby to have a horizontal perspective that matches his height. 3D technology makes it much less costly to adjust models over and over again.

Since the installation of prosthetic limbs, the quality of life of the Derby has improved markedly, the dog is no longer gray, and can run cheerfully two or three miles a day, the family is very surprised that it can quickly adapt to the prosthesis. Perhaps this is the meaning of science and technology, whether it is the dog or human, technology so that all the unfortunate weak in the world as much as possible to enjoy the beauty of the universe as equal.
