Intel & 3D Systems Team up to Make 11-Year-Old Boy 3D Printed Hand

11-year-old Daniel Hobbs was born with a congenital malformation of his left arm and since the age of seven has been wearing an expensive, bulky medical-grade prosthetic hand. Intel was willing to team up with 3D Systems to 3D print Daniel a lighter and more cost-effective hand prosthesis. They came up with an amazing prosthetic hand that weighs less than two pounds and only cost $400. Amazingly, the prosthetic hand has sixteen individual, movable pieces, but is 3D printed as a single part in nylon by a 3D Systems SLS 3D printer.
