How recycled materials and 3D printing are revolutionizing affordable bionics
In short: Bionic innovator Enzo Romero explains how he creates functional prosthetics using recycled materials. Inspired by Star Wars, he is building a new model for assistive technology designed specifically for people with limited resources in Peru.
Enzo Romero, a TED Fellow and mechatronics engineer, explores a groundbreaking approach to designing assistive technology. By utilizing 3D printing and recycled materials, he aims to produce functional prosthetics at a fraction of the cost of traditional imported technology. His mission is to help people with disabilities in his native Peru regain their ability to live fully.
