Connor is an Electrical Engineering graduate from the University of Auckland. By working with injured animals and thinking about 3D printed prosthetic solutions, he realized that there is a major opportunity to create better prosthetics for humans. Connor and his team are working to address the problem of poor fitting prosthetic sockets in human amputees by utilising Selective Laser Sintering, an industrial version of 3D printing. They have transitioned towards developing data centric solutions, capturing vital limb information in new ways which can then be used by prosthetic companies to improve patient outcomes.
