7. Beauty the bald eagle



Tragically Beauty was shot by poachers and almost died. The top half of her beak was missing which left her unable to eat and drink by herself. Rescuer Jane Fink Cantwell teamed up with Kinetic Engineering Group to 3D print another beak for her. Thanks to the wonders of technology she is now back to normal.

8. Derby the Dog



Derby the dog was sadly born without properly functioning front legs. There are wheeled options out there to help disabled dogs move around by themselves but Derby’s owners knew that this loving dog deserved more so they decided to get some special help. The result is a set of custom designed 3D printed prosthetic front legs that allow Derby to run, play and be like every other dog. See more here.

9. Fuji the bottlenosed dolphin



Fuji sadly developed a strange disease that meant a large section of her tail had to be removed. She could still swim after but nowhere near as well as other dolphins. At thirty-four-years-old she still had plenty of life in her so vets enlisted the help of Bridgestone Corp and they made a tail using the same material you find on Formula One tyres.

10. Blade the tortoise





Meet Blade the tortoise, who before now had a lot of trouble getting around. He wasn’t just tortoise slow, he pretty much didn’t even move which is why his owner Iris Peste decided to take Blade to see Dr. Carsten Plischke to find out what was wrong with him. They found out the problem and came up with one of the coolest ways ever to help him move again. They gave him LEGO wheels. Once Blade gets strong enough he can help only move without them.
