Decatur woman uses 3D printing to help change lives

For years now, manufacturers have used these futuristic-sounding copying machines to crank out all manner of parts and items. More recently, 3D printing has had an impact in the medical field. Its lower-cost production promises all kinds of ways to help people.

One Decatur woman is using 3D printing to help people who lack a hand. Find out how she’s doing that in a story in the Sunday Business section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and at myajc.com.
