Building with light opens! up a spectrum of possibilities!

       

The Problem!

Problems in critical and poor regions:!•  Bad infrastructure!

•  Expensive materials!•  No adjustment!•  Long-term production !

“There are an estimated 11.4 million hand amputees worldwide...”!

Overview!

Why?!•  Stronger mechanical integrity

by SLA!•  Avoiding expensive prosthesis!

•  Enhanced biocompatibility!•  Gaining variability by

generation of a toolbox!7
