Child Uses 3-D Printed Prosthetic Hand for First Pitch
A pint-sized baseball fan got to throw out the first pitch using a new “bionic” hand made from a 3-D printer.
Hailey Dawson was born without a fully formed right hand due to a genetic condition called Poland syndrome, according to the Orioles’ team website.
But the die-hard Orioles fan was able to get a special treat to throw out the first pitch after students from the University of Nevada Las Vegas created a specially designed prosthetic hand for Hailey.
The hand was printed on a 3-D printer and custom made in orange and black to reflect Hailey’s love for all things Orioles.
