Tony Stark, the infamous Iron Man, along with a UCF student, presented a 7-year-old boy with a new bionic arm, similar to the one used on the actual suit.


Stark, A.K.A. Robert Downey Jr., and Albert Manero, a #CollectiveProject student who founded Limbitless and UCF aerospace engineering student, surprised Alex Pring with a new bionic 3D printed arm at no cost to the family.

“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,” Downey Jr. said.

Last year, Manero and his team made headlines after 3-D building an arm for less than $350 for Alex. Normally a prosthetic arm costs around $10,000.
