The fast growth of 3D printing technology has started helping people in very cool ways. Recently a person had created Prosthetic hand using 3D printer.
3D printing has grown from a niche manufacturing process to a $2.7-billion industry over the past two decades.
Paul McCarthy was looking for an inexpensive but functional prosthetic hand for his son Leon who was born without fingers on his left hand. Paul found a video online about a prosthetic hand that anyone could make with a 3-D printer, based on a design by Washington state inventor Ivan Owen.
Now Leon proudly calls himself a cyborg as he shows off his functioning robotic hand.
It didn’t even cost that much. After spending around $2000 on the printer, materials only cost about $10 — much less than the tens of thousands a prosthesis would cost.
The website RoboHand.net is giving more details about this technology.
