New TPU Skin Tones!
We are thrilled to introduce our latest innovation in 3D printing materials: Python Flex 98A Skin Tones. This new line offers a range of ten different skin tone colours, five of which are readily available on our website, with an additional five available upon request. These new filaments colours are added to expand the current Python Flex 98A product line and are perfect for creating realistic and durable prosthetic limbs.
3D Printing and Prosthetics: A Life-Changing Combination
Losing a limb is a profound and life-altering event. In many parts of the world, particularly in underdeveloped countries, access to high-quality prosthetic limbs is severely limited due to high costs and scarcity. This often results in a significant reduction in the quality of life for amputees.
3D printing technology has emerged as a revolutionary tool in the creation of affordable and customized prosthetic limbs. By utilizing 3D printing, we can produce prosthetics that are not only cost-effective, but also durable and tailored to the needs of each individual. This technology is especially critical in regions where traditional prosthetics are unattainable for many people.
Hand in Hand NGO: A Beacon of Hope in Egypt
One organization we love working with is making significant strides in this area. The Hand in Hand NGO, a non-profit organization based in Cairo, Egypt. Egypt has a relatively high number of amputees, many of whom are unable to afford conventional prosthetic devices due to the high costs and their financial circumstances. Hand in Hand aims to improve the lives of these individuals by providing them with free 3D printed prosthetics.
The work of Hand in Hand is vital in a country where economic challenges often prevent amputees from accessing the prosthetic devices they need. By leveraging 3D printing technology, the organization can offer a practical solution that enhances mobility and independence for many people.
We had an interesting conversation with the Hand in Hand NGO recently. To read this interview, and learn more about why this great organization does click the button →
Python Flex 98A Skin Tones: Perfect for Prosthetic Applications
Our new Python Flex 98A Skin Tones filaments are an excellent choice for 3D printing prosthetics. With a shore hardness of 98A, this material strikes a balance between flexibility and firmness, similar to the feel of a bendy phone case but not as soft as a rubber band. This makes it ideal for creating prosthetics that need to be strong yet elastic, providing both comfort and durability for the wearer.
Key Features of Python Flex 98A Skin Tones:
- 10 Different Skin Tones: To cater to a diverse range of needs, we offer ten skin tones. Five of these are available on our website, while the remaining five can be requested on demand.
- Flexible Material: The filament is designed to provide the necessary flexibility for applications like, cartwheels, phone cases or prosthetics.
- Accessibility and Affordability: Python Flex 98A aims to make high-quality 3D printing filament more accessible and affordable for everyone.
At FormFutura, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with 3D printing. With the introduction of Python Flex 98A Skin Tones, we hope to contribute to a future where everyone has access to the prosthetic devices they need to lead a full and active life.
