Renowned motocross racer, "Monster" Mike Schultz, lost his left leg above the knee in a snowmobile accident. Driven by his desire to return to racing, Schultz established his company, BioDapt, and developed the MotoKnee—the sole prosthetic available today that can withstand the demands of action sports.

Now a Paralympian snowboarder, Mike grew BioDapt to specialize in designing, manufacturing, and distributing high-performance lower limb prosthetic components for athletes like Noelle Lambert, a fellow U.S. Paralympian and former contestant on "Survivor." Noelle worked with Mike to design a MotoKnee as she continues her inspiring story to reach the 2024 Paralympic Games medal stand.

To create top-notch metal components for various prosthetic systems, Schultz relies on Protolabs’ CNC machining service. He uses Protolabs for its user-friendly interface, which allows him to effortlessly upload designs, receive instant quotes, and keep product development running smoothly and efficiently.
