A boy who was born with a partially developed arm was recently given a special \u201cIron Man\u201d-themed prosthetic limb<\/a> — from none other than Tony Stark himself.<\/p>\n

In the video below, watch the moving moment when 7-year-old Alex walks into a room to find actor Robert Downey Jr., as his \u201cIron Man\u201d alter ego, waiting for him.<\/p>\n

Downey was there to present Alex with a 3D-printed bionic arm, which was designed by Albert Manero, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering at the University of Central Florida. Manero is the senior director of Limbitless Solutions<\/a>, a volunteer organization that designs open-source 3D-printed limbs and donates them to children in need.<\/p>\n

The story is incredible, the video is spectacular and the service and ingenuity offered by Albert Manero is priceless.<\/p>\n
