BRENHAM BOY RECEIVES NEW 3-D HAND

  

A Brenham boy is receiving an update version of a 3-D hand he received last year.

Two year old Caedon Olsen received his new 3-D hand on Thursday at Brenham High School.

In the summer of 2014, Brenham ISD Career and Technology Instructor Trenton Hall was approached by Kaedon’s mom and asked about the possibility of “printing” a new hand for her son via 3-D printing , which can be made at a much lower cost that the medically-produced one.

Because Caedon is so young, his new hand will have to be “reprinted” every approximately every six months.

Hall tells us a little more about the process.

 The class is currently working on two more “hands” one,  for a child in Arkansas and one for a Brenham Elementary student.

The school held a fundraiser for a new 3-D printer and is now in the lab. The printer cost around $7,000.
