This article was posted on May 15, 2014.  Eythor Bender, working with Unyq, has designed a website for amputees to design affordable decorative to be 3D printed and used to cover their prosthetic limbs.  Prosthetics have become extremely advanced, technologically, in recent years, but not much effort has been put into making the limbs look more natural.  Bendor's co-founder Manuel Boza developed Unyq's 3D printing process which cuts costs by relying on computer models made from digital photographs that the customers take of their natural and prosthetic limbs.  Along with lowering costs, this help the amputee's prosthetic to look symmetric to their natural limb.
