One of the most exciting things going on in 3D printing these days is what's happening with 3D printed prosthetics. In particular, the e-NABLE community, a group of 3300+ people and growing, is working to continually evolve the available options for low-cost 3D printed prosthetic devices. These talented folks from around the globe are creating designs that anyone can produce and assemble, wherever needed, at a much lower cost than previously possible.
As a demonstration of that, here's a video of me assembling one for the first time. I have no background in prosthetics or mechanical engineering, so if I can do this, most others probably can too. Of course, a prosthetist or other medical professional should always be involved when doing one of these for real, in order to ensure proper fit, check periodically for irritation, etc.
If you have a 3D printer and would like to make your own e-NABLE Hand, you can purchase a kit with all of the assembly materials you'll need here: http://shop3duniverse.com/products/e-...
Visit http://enablingthefuture.org if you need any assistance getting started.
A big thanks to the great work of those who contributed to the e-NABLE Hand prosthesis (aka the "Cyborg Beast"), including Jorge Zuniga, Frankie Flood, Ivan Owen, David Orgeman, and others in the e-NABLE community.
If you have a 3D printer, the e-NABLE Hand models can be downloaded free of charge from Thingiverse (search for "Cyborg Beast"), and you can find the instruction manual here: https://thingiverse-production.s3.ama...
