Open-source robotic prothesis Prosthesis

there open design prosthetics forum known open prosthetics project . group employs collaborators , volunteers advance prosthetics technology while attempting lower costs of these necessary devices. open bionics company developing open-source robotic prosthetic hands. uses 3d printing manufacture devices , low-cost 3d scanners fit them, aim of lowering cost of fabricating custom prosthetics. review study on wide range of printed prosthetic hands, found although 3d printing technology holds promise individualised prosthesis design, not cheaper when costs included. same study found evidence on functionality, durability , user acceptance of 3d printed hand prostheses still lacking.
