Donald Cordell, 18, was born without fingers on his right hand. A costly prosthetic was never an option, he said, but then his computer-assisted design and drafting teacher approached him earlier this year and asked if the class could make him a hand.
“I couldn’t believe him,” Cordell said.
The Springfield-Clark Career Technology Center class has three 3D printers, teacher Eric Barge told WHIO.
Those machines — which take liquid plastics and rubbers and turn them into solid pieces with ultraviolet light — will make it possible for the students to print and assemble a whole hand for Cordell, Barge said.
