With the help of 3D technology, we manufacture adaptive prostheses. Inch by inch we print, refine, assemble and give one hand at a time.
What are 3D prosthesis?
3D prostheses are functional prostheses of different parts of the body that have been developed with open-source 3D printing technology.
What is the manufacturing process of the prosthesis?
We use a 3D printer and a special plastic called PLA, and in the middle it has another material called TPU which is very flexible and light, this process takes from three to four days considering printing and assembly of parts to form the hand and forearm.
How does it work?
The prosthesis has flexibility, so that children can use it. They can open and close their fingers and take some objects. At the moment, we handle two types of prosthesis and we are in the process of designing a hand that moves like a mouse and works via Bluetooth.
Why are 3D printed prostheses great for children?
3D printed prostheses are a cost-effective way to keep up with a child's growth or damage that can be received by simply being worn by a child.
