DURHAM, N.C. - The 3D printing revolution is giving new opportunities to people who would never have had them, including a 12-year-old from Franklinton whose life is about to change thanks to students who attend a Durham magnet school.
Student in City of Medicine Academy teacher Vance Kite's Disease and Society class are using a 3D printer to build prosthetic hands for three children across the country, including 12-year-old Matthew DiFrancesco.
"The next thing they had to do is take the 3D file and scale that properly," Vance explained. "Once they got the measurements from the parents, they got the files to be the right size."
He said his students can then take the scaled file, "put it onto the printer, the printer prints it out, [the students] assemble it and you're done."
