NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The company Not Impossible was founded on the belief that nothing is impossible if one can identify a problem and crowdsource a solution. 

According to Elliott Kotek, co-founder of Not Impossible, the goal isn't to crowdsource an idea for money. Instead, the company learns of a problem and then crowdsources for a solution, looking for bright-minded individuals and a couple of "cheerleaders" to promote the idea, he explained. 

Take Project Daniel, for instance. 

Project Daniel focused on a child who had lost both of his arms due to an explosion in Sudan. He had no prosthetics after his injury and the goal was to find a way for that to happen. Ultimately, the company turned to 3-D printing after hearing of a man in South Africa who 3-D printed himself a hand after losing his fingers in an accident. 

After working with several companies to make this dream a reality, Daniel was presented with two new prosthetic arms, which allowed him to feed himself for the first time in two years. 

However, it didn't stop there, said Kotek. Instead of packing up and leaving town once Daniel got his arms, the company decided to train the locals how to use the 3-D equipment and left it there for future use. 

In essence, it became the world's first 3-D printing prosthetics lab, Kotek said. 

The beauty of modern technology is that it continues to get faster, cheaper, smaller and, ultimately, better. While nice for consumers, it can ultimately better the world we live in, as simple materials, like plastic, can go on to change someone's life, Kotek added. Printing a prosthetic part has become incredibly cheap when it used to cost thousands of dollars for many patients.
