Dog Born With Deformed Front Legs Runs For The First Time, Thanks To 3D Printing

December 16, 2014

Tara Anderson cried every time she came across Derby's story and pictures on the animal rescue group website, Peace And Paws. Derby was born with deformed front legs.

Three months later, Tara gave in and adopted him.

The first thing she did was buy him a cart.

The cart worked, but it limited Derby's ability to play - especially with other dogs. Derby needed something better.

Using a variety of 3D technologies, 3D Systems changed Derby's life with unique, custom 3D-printed prosthetics.
