Dear List,

With all the media attention recently on 3D printing of prosthetic hands I
am wondering if anyone has any hands on experience with 3D printing. I am
particularly interested in the viability of printing lower extremity
sockets and check sockets.

What are the up sides and what are the current challenges to this
technology?

Thanks in advance,
Jack Ben-Ezra, CP, BOCO
