Printhesis 3D Printed Hand
We all have seen the various 3D printed hands making their rounds, but sometimes you need more specific devices for more intricate functionality. In comes a designer from the Netherlands named Roel Deden. Eden created a new prosthetic hand for her friend Lianne, which would allow her to make jewelry like she once had, prior to developing bone cancer. The new hand was printed with a plier-like extension for under $400, supplanting the usefulness of Lianne's old prosthetic which cost her almost $9000. The device, called the Printhesis won the James Dyson Award in The Netherlands this week. More details on this hand can be found here: http://3dprint.com/94844/printhesis-3d-printed-arm/
