$42,000 Prosthetic Hand Outperformed By $50 3D Printed Hand

[DEAD7]

"A man named Jose Delgado was so used to using a $42,000 myoelectric prosthetic hand for the last year that he didn't realize that there were other options out there. Although Delgado, born without a left hand, was able to obtain the hand via his insurance, he found that a 3D printed 'Cyborg Beast,' open source hand ,which costs just $50 to print, actually was more comfortable and performed better than the device which costs 840 times as much money."

It's only a matter of time before lobbyists shut 3D computers down with regulations, just watch.

Real human hands grown from the patient's stem cells will eventually replace prosthetic hands.

To think that we might be getting closer to the age of technological dreams becoming reality.

Even though my biggest interest will always be nanotechnology because the idea of being able to physically alter things at a molecular level is game changing shyt.
