A Journey to Digital Prosthetics: Brent Wright: LifeNabled
From the jungles of Guatemala to the first amputee to complete a marathon
One of the most inspiring presentations from CDFAM NYC 2024 was by Brent Wright of LifeNabled, who discussed his journey to becoming a digital prosthetist.
He transitioned from time-consuming, manual production of prostheses to digital workflows using computational design, applying his work everywhere—from the jungles of Guatemala to helping an amputee runner complete his first full marathon.
