3D printing has changed a lot of things in the world, but there are very few sectors that have been as positively effected as the world of prosthetics.
The Prosthetic company Open Bionics, has now partnered with Disney to created an awesome line of robotic hands that not only help remove the stigma some children feel about having a prosthetic, but makes them look and feel like superheroes.
