Amputee Duck Walks For The First Time With A New 3D-Printed Foot

A duck named Buttercup at the Feathered Angels Waterfowl Sanctuary in Arlington, Tennessee was born November 9th, 2012 with his left foot turned backwards. Using the latest technology in 3D modeling and printing, Dr. Shannon McGee created a custom 3D-printed webbed foot for Buttercup. Buttercup took his first steps with the new foot June 30, 2013.
