UNC Senior Lends Helping Hand — In 3D

Posted Oct 1, 2015
Jeff Powell has been building things for as long as he can remember. Powell, a senior in biomedical engineering in the College of Arts and Sciences, recently applied that interest to help 7-year-old Holden Mora of Chapel Hill, who was born without fully formed fingers on his left hand. Using a 3-D printer in the basement of Phillips Hall, Powell spent part of his summer designing and developing a prosthetic hand for Holden. (UNC.edu)
