For Richard Blalock running is a way of life and through a myriad of circumstances he was not able to run pain and blister free in his traditionally fabricated prosthesis.  Richard shares his journey on not only finding his prosthetist Shane Grubbs at Procare in Atlanta but also how he found 3D printing.  If you are a prosthetist with athletic patients you definitely want to listen to this podcast.  If you are an amputee this may be great information for you to take back to your prosthetist.

Richard shares his story on how he chose to have an elected amputation.  We dive deep into the design of the prosthesis along with materials used with MultiJet Fusion Technology.
