A duck with a backward foot starts a whole new life with the help of the 3D printing technology. The duck, Buttercup, was hatched in 2012 in a high school biology lab. The bird has been unable to walk properly after his deformed foot only partially developed. A 3D printing company donated its services to aid in Buttercup's recovery. Photos of Buttercup's sister's foot were used to 3D print a mold, which will be used to cast a silicone prosthesis, CNET said
