Description

<b> by Jeff Donlan</b>

A new, surprisingly affordable 3D-printed bionic hand is now available to help amputees. The Youbionic Hand</a> was created by Italian engineer Federico Ciccarese and costs around $1,250. Controlled by muscle movements, the prosthetic is useful for people with missing or partially functioning hands. The hand can be 3D-printed in a single piece, with one print and is powered by a series of microprocessors, motors, and sensors that are added after printing. The hand is the first step in a larger effort to create a full-body exoskeleton someday.
