One of the most important developments in 3D printing over the past two years is the creation of low-cost 3D printable prosthetic hands. Beginning with Richard Van As and Ivan Owen’s partnership to make functional 3D printed fingers, the movement to bring down the price of prosthetics has flourished and, now, an increasing number of people have been helped by refinements in the duo’s original design. These hands, however, are driven by wrist movement and the range of mobility and control of their individual fingers is limited to various levels of gripping. Youbionic is an Italian endeavor that seeks to push the abilities of 3D printed prosthetics by creating bionic hands at a similarly low price point.…
