Robert Downey Jr. gave fan a 3-D printed bionic Iron Man arm

March 12, 2015

Writer

Robert Downey Jr. became a hero to kids all over the world when he brought Iron Man to life in the Marvel Studios movies 'Iron Man' and 'The Avengers'. Recently, he gave one lucky fan an life-changing gift, one made possible through cutting edge technology.

In a video posted to his Facebook page, Downey presented a young fan named Alex with a 3D-printed bionic prosthetic arm. The best part? It's modeled after his favorite superhero: Iron Man.

The Iron Man arm was built by Albert Manero, a Fulbright scholar, doctoral candidate in mechanical engineering, and founder of Limbitless Solutions. The organization builds low-cost prosthetics for kids using 3D printing. They aim "to create a world without limits, where everyone has access to the tools necessary to manufacture simple, affordable, and accessible solutions through open source design and 3D printing."

This video captures the power of new technology to rapidly change the world for the better.

Downey wrote, "Had the absolute privilege of presenting a brand spanking new 3D-printed bionic Iron Man arm to Alex, the most dapper 7-year-old I’ve ever met."

"Special thanks to Albert Manero, OneNote, and #CollectiveProject for their work making artificial limbs like this more affordable for families with kids who want to show the playground how badass they are."

Here's the original Facebook post:

Candace Owens blasts leftist cancel culture: 'Godless', 'societal atom bomb'

Candace Owens, BLEXIT founder and author of the upcoming book, "Blackout," joined Glenn Beck on Friday's GlennTV for an exclusive interview. available only to BlazeTV subscribers.

Candace dropped a few truth-bombs about the progressive movement and what's happening to the Democratic Party. She said people are practically running away from the left due to their incessant push to dig up dirt on anybody who disagrees with their radical ideology. She explained how -- like China and its "social credit score" -- the left is shaping America into its own nightmarish episode of "Black Mirror."

"This game of making sure that everyone is politically correct is a societal atom bomb. There are no survivors. There's no one that is perfect," Candace said. "The idea that humanity can be perfect is Godless. If you accept that there is something greater than us, then you accept that we a flawed. To be human is to be flawed."

SUICIDE? Whistleblower found dead by 'self-inflicted' gunshot wound

Philip Haney, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) whistleblower during the Obama administration, was found dead near Plymouth, California, on Friday.

Authorities said 66-year-old Haney died from a single gunshot wound to his chest, which was determined to be "self-inflicted." Read more on this here.

Haney was a good friend to Glenn Beck and the program. On radio Monday, Glenn said it's almost impossible for him to believe that the man he knew so well could have taken his own life.

"He was one of the most honorable men I've ever met," Glenn said. "A guy who was willing to put himself in danger. A guy who knew what he was dealing with, knew that he could be killed, or that he would be disappeared, or that he could go to prison. And he was absolutely unafraid. And this is one reason why I know, why I so strongly feel that he didn't kill himself."
