Leading prosthetics can cost up to $100,000. By using emerging technologies like 3D printing, we can cut that down to under $1000. That’s two orders of magnitude cheaper, and means that these devices can reach a far broader audience!
The Open Hand project is an open-source project with the goal of creating a fully functional robotic prosthetic hand which can be sold for under $1000. If you think it's a good cause, support the project by liking and sharing this page and making a donation at www.openhandproject.org!
