I always felt like I had a low-grade fever. According to Letty, she can now sleep much better. Wood also said that Letty probably had this tumor for several years. Basically, what that means is that the kidney tumor secretes hormones that cause side effects elsewhere in the body. At that time, Letty said, Dr. Wood recommended her for a CAT scan every six months for two years to make sure that she is cancer free. But I have a lot of faith that it is not going to come back.

As a graduate student at the University of Central Florida, Fulbright Scholar Albert Manero heard a radio interview with the man who invented the first 3D-printed artificial hand. Inspired by the process, he went to the aerospace research lab on the UCF campus and learned how to design low-cost prosthetic limbs that could be delivered to children in unique and surprising ways. A year later, the company known as Limbitless Solutions was delivering a prosthetic arm to a Florida child born without an elbow.
As the process became more refined, and media interest in 3D printing grew, Manero and his team of fellow students started collaborating with other companies to help realize their vision.
In one very special case, Robert Downey Jr. Employing additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, a layering process in which everyday items are printed out in strips to form low-cost personalized bionics, Manero launched a non-profit organization comprised of innovators who use their skills and passion to improve the world around them.
Central to the groundbreaking Limbitless business model — the company gives away limbs to children and families in need; next year it will donate 75 arms to displaced Syrian children — is Manero's steadfast determination to employ science and technology as tools for helping and inspiring people across the globe.
Through his work he aims to reshape the scientific realm by infusing art and aesthetics into an area typically viewed as "cold" or dehumanizing. Expanding the familiar STEM acronym academic shorthand for science, technology, engineering and math to include A for art, Manero created Limbitless in the spirit of STEAM — the nexus of art and science where storytelling and engineering function seamlessly as a unified whole. Nothing less than innovation with compassion, employing design imbued with scientific purpose, Limbitless serves as a bold reminder of what technology can achieve through a singular vision and charitable spirit.
Through rousing, thought-provoking presentations tailored to groups and organizations at the corporate and grass-roots level, Manero and members of his team, including videographer Katie Manero, Director of Production Dominique Courbin and Director of Resource Management Tyler Petresky, recount the stories that made Limbitless one of technology's most fascinating companies.
In keynote speeches and customized talks, the team recounts how an innovative idea became an affordable alternative to pricy, difficult-to-obtain bionic prosthetics. In addition they share some of the heartwarming stories of how a group of entrepreneurial volunteers working at the community level succeeded in providing children with better lives, improved confidence and what Limbitless calls "3D hope" — the idea that technological innovation can serve as a force for good in the world.
For every speaking engagement, the Limbitless team will allocate a portion of its fees to creating more limbs for children in need.
