British International School, Phuket (BISP) IB students Melanie Preen, Michael Larsson and Arsenii Barbashov have cause to be proud of themselves. By creating a fully functional 3D-printed prosthetic hand for a five-year-old girl from Bangkok, they made a significant positive impact on her life.
 
The young girl had been born with amniotic band syndrome (ABS), a rare condition where strands of the amniotic sac entangle digits, limbs, or other parts of the foetus and can cause various problems. In this case, the bands were wrapped around the girl’s left arm, ultimately resulting in a loss of her limb just below the elbow.
 
Jonathan Clark, head of ICT & computing at BISP, led this instalment of the CAS Project (Creativity Action Service) project and said this about its inception: “The little girl’s father, contacted me after reading a newspaper article about our students being able to 3D-print prosthetics. The team immediately took charge of this CAS project with the goal of creating a fully functional prosthetic arm by utilizing the technological opportunities at BISP. The students worked with scale photographs of the girl’s arms to accurately produce a suitable fit, and after much hard work and perseverance to perfect the 3D designs, they successfully printed and assembled the arm.”

Inspired by the project and his students, Jonathan added, “It has been overwhelmingly satisfying for the students to see images of the girl wearing their 3D printed creation. While the family did not wish for the images to be made public, they are extremely grateful to Melanie, Michael, and Arsenii, and are thrilled to see their daughter getting used to her new arm, which is a big improvement from the primarily aesthetic prosthesis she used to have.”
