Graduate students have used a 3D printer to make a limb for a six-year-old boy born without a right arm.
一名6岁的男孩天生就没有右臂,一群研究生用3D打印机为他打印了手臂。
Alex Pring, from Groveland, Florida, was given the new prosthetic arm on Friday by a team headed by University of Central Florida student Albert Manero.
男孩名叫Alex Pring,住在佛罗里达州格罗夫兰市。一个由中佛罗里达大学学生Albert Manero领导的小组为他制造了这个义肢。
The limb took seven weeks for the team to build in their free time and cost $350 - compared to the $40,000 that doctors told Alex's family a prosthetic arm would cost. After the little boy put on the arm, which senses muscles in his shoulder and opens and closes, he grinned and gave his mother a hug - the first time he had been able to put two arms around her.
这个小组花了7周的业余时间和350美元就制造了这个义肢,而医生告诉Alex的家庭,一个义肢的价格是4万美元。Alex的义肢可以通过Alex肩部肌肉来控制。当他装上义肢后,他笑着给了妈妈一个拥抱——这可是他平生第一次能够用双臂拥抱妈妈。
'I feel good,' Alex told reporters. 'I feel everything good, even my robot arm. It's not even heavy.'
Alex告诉记者:“我感觉很好。我觉得一切都好,包括我的机器手臂。它一点都不沉。”
