Inspired by a dog who couldn’t run for over seven years due to a missing leg, Printthinks committed to research and design study periods that led to the creation of their 3D-printed prosthesis prototype. Printed from a material called PETG and solely recycled materials,

Printthinks created a solution that’s both eco-conscious and pet-friendly. The sole, for instance, is cut and printed from a recycled bicycle wheel, guaranteeing maximum grip and secure footing.

Describing the print process and the materials used during it, Printthinks notes, “The piece is printed on an Ultimate3 at a layer height of 0.3 mm and the other materials are nylon, rubber, and sewing thread.”
