Prosthesis 3D, the cheapest efficient revolution?

The math is simple:

Hand prosthesis in the market ≥ 10,000 USD

Hand prosthesis using 3D printer ≤ 50 USD

The feeling of happiness when you help kids having a little bit easier life = I reckon there are things that maths can´t calculate.

One of the things that are keeping me exciting and busy these days is find the way to improve kids lifes using 3D printing.

In the following video, I am printing a gauntlet in PLA (Polylactic Acid) then fingers and hand body using flexible material giving a better movement:

My aim for the next months: I´ll create a platform where any kid around the world can receive one of these flexy hands :)
