    Bionic Hands: How 3D Printed bionic hands are changing lives

    There are many reasons why 3D printed bionic hands (prosthetics) technology promises to be the way forward for physically unique people. The prosthetic-making process is a difficult one. In addition, it is an expensive process.

    The main benefits of 3D printed bionic hands include:

    1. Cost - 3D printed bionic hands (prosthetics) that costs only a few hundred dollars,and perhaps less than that.

    2. Speed – A 3D printed prosthetic limb can usually be made in a day. In comparison, it generally takes weeks or even months to produce and calibrate regular prosthetic limbs.

    3. Versatility – Prosthetics made from 3D printing can be easily customized, and created to suit the owner. Artistic, rugged, and specialty designs have been made to suit specific activity use, including outdoor activities such as biking. Cost of such a prosthetics would be very high.

    This myoelectric prosthetic device works by taking the signals produced by the muscle fibers within the forearm, and translating those same signals to move the fingers of the prosthetic hand mechanically. The prosthetic hand is actually a very good replica of a real hand.
