Amanda Boxtel’s dream came true when she was able to walk again with the help of a 3D Printed exoskeleton made by Ekso Bionics and 3D Systems. She had been paralysed for 23 years, and you can imagine how it must have felt to take those first steps (Check the video here). Now she works as the executive director for Bridging Bionics Foundation, and together with Scott Summit from 3D Systems, they appeared at the Aspen Ideas Festival to talk about how 3D printing and robotics will democratize the freedom of mobility.
