Abstrakt:	Much of the burden of living with a disability is concentrated among those populations least financially able to bear the burden. As the price of 3 dimensional (3D) printing decreases, individual access to this technology increases. 3D-printed prostheses can be designed specifically for use in resource-poor settings, including developing countries, to minimize the cost of consumable parts while optimizing durability in harsh environmental conditions.
