Just finished up a casting for an Hero Arm! Definitely the coolest multi articulating myoelectric arm on the market, and utilizing 3d printing, they've made it much more affordable too!

When we heard about 's campaign for his hero arm and the fact that his insurance would not cover this life changing technology, we knew we had to join in to help.

Next step is fitting the test socket with the trial kit!

Onto our 3rd generation of restoring confidence and independence to and people with with the newest and greatest technologies, like laser leveling for alignment and 3d printing for prosthetic sockets!
