In the feature story "GWU Arm Prosthetics Project," Direct Dimensions detailed the work they collaborated on with Volunteer for Medical Engineering and students from GW Engineering's Department of Biomedical Engineering. The project's goal was to design a unique prosthesis for a recent amputee and local farmer, Gary, which should be delivered to him in May 2025.
