Molds of Hailey Dawson's hands are shown at a UNLV composite and materials lab Thursday, July 17, 2014. The hand at right is a prototype from a previous researcher. An engineering team at UNLV is designing a "robohand" for 4-year-old Hailey Dawson using the school's 3D printer. Dawson was born with a birth defect that left her only with a thumb and pinky on her left hand.
