3d printed bionic arm

A new bionic arm called Handiii promises to be a milestone in the creation of this type of prosthesis. After all, it was made on a 3D printer , it was created using only $ 300 and it has very interesting technology to communicate with the smartphones of who will use it.

In general, mechanical members tend to be much more expensive than $ 300 and are difficult to repair. Also, they need to have very advanced electronic systems to recognize and process muscle signals. However, with the Handiii mobile app, this is different. With a smart, via WiFi, the skin gives electrical signals and sends them to the bionic arm.

It appeared at a technology festival in Texas, was created by the Japanese company Exiii and for sale to companies with the intention of using it in research and development. For the general public, it still needs to take a while for it to be released and its price has not been revealed, but it won't be that low.

"The cost price differs from the sale price, because they have to pass, but only to cover the costs of printing and electronic modules. They have to add their labor and other expenses when we sell.

Named one of the top ten Google contest projects in Japan for impact, the bionic arm promises to do quite successfully in the future. The 3D printer can make it much easier to repair, fully customizable, and much more mindful than current traditional models.
