The Victoria Hand Project from Canada uses 3D printing to create affordable upper-limb prosthetic devices for around 150 USD, customized in just a few days. With its own software and a global network of clinics, prostheses are produced locally, for example in Ukraine and Africa. A key factor behind this success is the reliability and capabilities of the Original Prusa XL and other Prusa 3D printers, which enable fast and precise printing of parts and above-elbow sockets even in challenging conditions.
