一只名叫夏洛特的海龟因船只撞击而受伤,现在在 New Balance 和一家当地公司的帮助下,使用定制的 3D 打印安全带游泳更轻松。
A sea turtle named Charlotte, injured by a boat strike, now swims easier with a custom 3D-printed harness made with help from New Balance and a local firm.
一只名叫夏洛特的绿海龟被康涅狄格州神秘水族馆救起,因船撞伤而患有“泡泡屁股”综合症,她配备了在 New Balance 和当地 3D 打印公司 Adia 的帮助下开发的定制 3D 打印假肢安全带。
A green sea turtle named Charlotte, rescued by Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut and suffering from "Bubble Butt" syndrome due to boat strike injuries, has been fitted with a custom 3D-printed prosthetic harness developed with help from New Balance and local 3D printing company Adia.
这种情况会导致浮力问题并损害游泳,传统上需要频繁调整环氧树脂重量,但新型安全带使用计算建模和数字扫描提供了耐用、可调节的解决方案。
The condition, which causes buoyancy issues and impairs swimming, traditionally required frequent epoxy weight adjustments, but the new harness offers a durable, adjustable solution using computational modeling and digital scanning.
在装配了多个配件之后,这一工具成功地改善了夏洛特的游泳姿势,提供了更好的流动性和更长的预期寿命。
After multiple fittings, the harness successfully improves Charlotte’s swimming posture, offering better mobility and a longer life expectancy.
该项目由新平衡组织的Chris Voracek领导,可以作为使其他受伤海龟康复的模式,这些海龟是濒危物种,其寿命已到90岁。
The project, led by New Balance’s Chris Voracek, may serve as a model for rehabilitating other injured sea turtles, a threatened species with lifespans into their 90s.
