Nebraska Manufacturing Advisory Council:
“Jorge Zuniga’s research was inspired by the need for children’s mechanical hands not only in Nebraska, but
throughout the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that every year, 1,500 infants are born
without fully formed arms.”
“Earlier this month, nine-year old Shea Stollenwerk from Wisconsin received a hand from a professor at University of
Wisconsin using Zuniga’s design. Stollenwerk was born with no fingers and a partial thumb, meaning that until she
received the new prosthetic, had never been able to pick anything up with her right hand. It’s stories like these that
fuel Zuniga’s desire to create, and the limitations that science is overcoming are due in part to the possibilities of
manufacturing.”
Thoughts on how inexpensive prosthetics could change the manufacturing or health care industries?

Scientific American (blog) featured “Shea’s hand” a project in collaboration between Creighton University and University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/molecules-to-medicine/2014/03/06/need-a-hand-now-you-canprint-one/
The Star Online: “Eventually, this led to the creation of the Google Plus group, started by Jon Schull, an associate professor at
the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, that attracted a team of researchers from Creighton University in
Omaha, Nebraska, the guitar specialist, the high school student, families who were experimenting with the hand-making kits at
home, and others.”
