Cyclist to use 3D-printed prosthesic leg in Rio
German paralympic cyclist Denise Schindler is to compete in the 2016 Rio Olympics in September with a 3D-printed prosthetic leg. The rider, who lost her leg when she was two-years-old, claims that the method is quicker and cheaper to produce than plaster-casting. Previously, she won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics, and multiple medals in Para-cycling Road World Championships.
