When Captain America had asked Tony Stark what he would be without his suit, Stark had replied: ‘Genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist.’ Much like Tony Stark, the actor who portrays him, Robert Downey Jr. is also someone who loves to give back to society. In this video, posted by Downey Jr., he is seen giving a bionic Iron-Man-like arm to Alex a kid with a partially developed right arm.

He wrote on his Facebook profile: ‘Had the absolute privilege of presenting a brand spanking new 3D-printed bionic Iron Man arm to Alex, the most dapper 7-year-old I’ve ever met. Special thanks to Albert Manero, OneNote, and#CollectiveProject for their work making artificial limbs like this more affordable for families with kids who want to show the playground how badass they are. Check out http://www.facebook.com/LimbitlessSolutions to learn more about this incredible project. #goodcause.’
What is Limbitless Solutions?
According to their website: ‘Limbitless Solutions is a growing engineering community devoted to changing lives through the innovation of new bionic arm designs and development of a worldwide network of makers and thinkers. We operate as volunteers under E-nable, an already global network of engineers and 3D print enthusiasts who share our enthusiasm for the 3D maker movement. Our mission is to create a world without limits, where everyone has access to the tools necessary to manufacture simple, affordable, and accessible solutions through open source design and 3D printing. We aim to lead by example, pushing the limits of ingenuity by synthesizing engineering principles with natural anatomy in our effort to replicate the human form in printed plastic.’
