Bionic Boy, Ben Ryan (founder and CEO, Ambionics)
When Ben’s son had his arm amputated at 10 days old, he found the design and waiting time for a prosthetic arm unacceptable. Beginning work in his shed, he developed a better model, using an Xbox scanner and 3D printer. His aim through his company Ambionics is to help children everywhere adopt and continue to use prosthetics through into adulthood.
