Paralyzed woman walks again with 3D-printed robotic exoskeleton

3D Systems, in collaboration with Ekso Bionics, has created a 3D-printed robotic exoskeleton that has restored the ability to walk in a woman paralyzed from the waist down. The Ekso-Suit was trialled and demonstrated by Amanda Boxtel, who was told by her doctor that she'd never walk again after a skiing accident in 1992.

Lucky I invested in DDD a while back.

That's pretty cool. From the video, it appears that they still need to work the bugs out.


I was very hesistant to click on a link with "gizmag" in the URL.

Cool. Thanks.

We could have put this into one of Agloco's cool technology threads...
