TurboRoo, a tiny Chihuahua born without front legs due to a genetic defect, can finally walk easily, thanks to 3D printing technology.

Worried about TurboRoo's future, his owner took him to The Downtown Veterinarian in Indianapolis. But, the vet found no internal issues. Vets at the clinic finally created a makeshift dog cart using a Fisher-Price toy helicopter, toy welding kit and a ferret harness.

But as the puppy was growing day by day, the cart of the same size was not an apt solution. The dog was then adopted by Ashley Looper, a vet tech of the same clinic.

After Looper shared TurboRoo's pictures online, the dog became a sensation, garnering support from all over the world.

Speaking on the topic, Looper said, "People from all over the world have gotten in touch with us. There's a local company here that's offered to sponsor him, and there's a couple people locally who have asked for his measurements."

Then, San Diego-based design firm 3dyn's Mark Deadrick contacted Ashley on social-networking site Facebook and offered his 3-D printing services to create a fitting cart for the dog.

Taking a clue from TurboRoo's online pictures, Deadrick managed to estimate the size cart needed by the dog. Then, he printed the model in bright orange attached to two Rollerblade wheels, and sent the cart to the dog's owner. Using the 3D-printed cart, TurboRoo can is now capable of scooting without any external help.

What make the 3D-printed car different from the previously used cart is that it can be custom-fit to the dog's body, reprinted or modified by any other designer.
