There are four images overlapping each other in this graphic. First is a close-up photograph of a kitten being held in Carla's hands. Next is Clayton, a young man in a baseball cap, sketching the brace on paper at a desk. Then, there is a photograph of a computer screen showing a 3D rendering of the brace in a computer-assisted design program. Finally, there are two 3D-printed prototypes of the brace made of black plastic—one a bit rough, and the other more refined—sitting on a table. The brace looks a bit like a rectangular, hollow dog or cat leg, with a hinged middle section to allow movement.
