3D Printed “Airy Arm” for Paralyzed Fingers

We have seen many extremely helpful 3D printed prosthetic hands and arms come to fruition over the past two years. But this one is above all.

Thanks to groups like e-NABLE and the Robohand Project, there are hundreds of people who now have gained use of both of their hands. The incredible thing about 3D printing is that it allows for the fabrication of completely custom devices, at costs of under $50. Traditional prosthesis cost up to 10,000 times this price, and many of these expensive devices don’t even function as well as their cheaper, home-fabricated counterparts.
