e-NABLE Siena College is a nonprofit, volunteer organization modeled after Enabling the Future, which posts downloadable computer-aided design files for prosthetics online. The students in this chapter downloaded the files, measured the girl's arm and designed the prosthetic arm with a Frozen theme, complete with a removable light. After the 3-D printing process, students assembled the arm and got to watch this young girl's reaction as she saw the design and was able to pick things up with her prosthetic hand.
