Man's bionic arm made with a 3D printer
A man who was born without his right hand has been fitted with a bionic one by an engineer who scanned his left hand and then made another with a 3D printer.
Daniel Melville contacted Joel Gibbard after seeing his appeal for funding help to develop affordable robotic hands. He offered to help Mr Gibbard test his products and the new hand was created within two days at a cost of just £300. The inventors have just returned from the US where they won a $200,000 prize to help develop the technology in a commercial way.
