Millie the dog lost her paw when she was just a pup and since then, it's been a constant struggle to find a prosthetic leg that fits just right. This has seen Millie try four different models and styles of prosthetic, but finally she has found a leg that lets her run, jump and play -- and it's all thanks to 3D printing. Millie's fifth and current prosthetic leg can be altered to suit her body on a computer using Autodesk's Fusion 360 software and a 3D printer. This means that Millie's owners Ed and Nora Dieppe can print Millie a new leg without her having to be fitted for a replacement each time she grows. The 3D-Printed ProstheticMillie's 3D printed leg is made from a material called CPE which is a co-polyester plastic, making the leg easy to fit and super lightweight.
