Question: What was the impact that 3D printing made on the world?
Other Questions I need to answer: What is 3D printing used for? Clothing shoes gloves snow glasses food (mostly chocolate) fake animal bones (for museums) artwork miniature models of stuff (landmarks, buildings, ect) toys cars guns that actually work body parts (for transplants) swimsuits for disabled dogs, a dog wheelchair guitars telescope for NASA Drones fans makeup lamps glasses furniture helmets candy phone cases camera lenses Are their any moments in history that 3D printing saved lives? A 4 year old boy was born without a hand. A local high school heard about that and printed him a bionic hand that responded to wrist movements. An 18 month old baby had a stroke at birth, but survived. But, throughout his life, he had these tiny, constant seizures called mind-erasers. They are called this way because they erase tiny amounts of knowledge. To fix this, the doctors needed to perform a very difficult surgery, in which half the brain is removed for a few minutes. This would be easy if everyones brains were the same. To perform a safer surgery, doctors scanned the little boy's brain and made a 3D printing of it. They performed the surgury a few times on the 3D brain to get use to it. When they did the real surgery happeded, the doctors were vey quick and percise. The surgery was a success, and now the baby is healthy and happy. A little girl needed a heart
