3D Printing Company Creates Prosthetic Foot for Duck

Posted on July 3, 2013

Novacopy, a printing company in Nashville, printed a prosthetic foot for a duck using 3D printing technology. The duck, named Buttercup, was born with a backwards foot. The backwards foot was surgically removed, but Buttercup was not very mobile having a stumped leg. Buttercup was then fitted with the plastic prosthetic duck foot and he can now waddle much faster.
