Buttercup the Duck Gets a New "Swim Foot"!
This is a fabulous, heartwarming application of 3D printing. We've been following Buttercup's story for a while now, and this week there was announced an exciting new development! Buttercup's "dad," Mike, from the Feathered Angels Waterfowl Sanctuary has developed a new "swim foot." This foot has little trap doors that open when he moves his foot forward to allow water to pass through, then close when he kicks to maximize thrust. Brilliant!

Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and inspiring! 3D printing really offers valuable benefits and all the money, effort and time spent on it are all worthy especially if you will take a look at the results that you can achieve. I'm still looking forward to the great things that 3d printing can still present. :)
ReplyDeleteGo Buttercup! What a rewarding project. 3d printing really does offer so many things :-)
ReplyDeleteThis video is too good and 3D printing is any of various processes for making a three-dimensional object of almost any shape from a 3D model or other electronic data source primarily through additive processes in which successive layers of material are laid down under computer control.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that Buttercup got her new foot now, thanks to 3D printing technology. Truly, 3D Printing Saves Disabled Pets Lives
