Have you heard of Robohand? No, it’s not the next sci-fi blockbuster. It’s a story of compassion, technology, and a collaboration from 10,000 miles apart between Richard Van As, a woodworker from Johannesburg, South Africa, and Ivan Owen, a theatrical prop designer from Seattle, Washington. And it was all made possible thanks to MakerBot’s sharing website Thingiverse.com and 3D printing on a MakerBot® Replicator® 2 Desktop 3D Printer.
