The reaction of a disabled eight-year-old girl as she received and unboxed her first ever 3D printed arm was captured in an emotional video.
Isabella was presented the box by the creator of her prosthetic arm, Stephen Davies.
Davies volunteers for e-NABLE, a global network of volunteers who use their 3D printers and design skills to create free prosthetic hands for those in need.
