Why Limb difference group need assistance? According to CDC(Centers for disease control and prevention), about 1 in every 1,900 babies is born with a limb reduction defect in the United States. Babies and children with lamb difference might have issue for daily activities such as self-care which can even lead to psychological diseases. Form5 is impressive for their efforts taken to help limb difference group which attracted our attention and inspired us with applying 3D printing techniques to serve the people with needs of prosthetics.

To support limb difference group with 3D Printing techniques, we collaborate with Form5 and contributed Ender-5 Plus, Ender-3 Pro, CR-10 to improve their productivity of prosthetics. In order to stress on individual difference of limb difference, Ender-5 Plus was chosen for its 350*350*400 MM large printing volume and ±0.1mm outstanding printing precision to fit individual needs. Large-format printer means bigger integrated parts can be manufactured. With high precision performance ensured by dual z-axis and preinstalled BL Touch Auto leveler, better printing quality can enhance prosthetics’ durability and safety.
