“The baby’s parents took him to the emergency room where it was determined Kaiba would require a
splint being inserted in order to hold open his bronchial tube, to hopefully allow the tissue to grow
and heal around it properly. Doctors decided to use a 3D printer to create the splint as time was of
the essence in order to Kaiba to survive his ordeal.
Kaiba was first imaged in order for technicians to get accurate dimensions to then have those
measurements used to create a computer model, which acted as the blueprint. With that information,
the 3D printer was able to print out the custom splint doctors needed in about a day.”

“Allen County collaborated with
TekVenture, an educational
nonprofit specializing in
makerspace technology, to create
the lab. Working off a simple one-
page agreement, TekVenture
agreed to provide the trailer, along
with the equipment and some free
programming, and Allen County
offered free parking.”
