3D Printed Robotic Arm
The person behind this invention is self taught 17 year old, Easton LaChappelle. Whilst your average teen might be playing with robots in a video game, Easton was actually out there making them for the benefit of other people. Upon meeting a young girl with a prosthetic limb that cost a phenomenal $80,000, he set out to change the future of prosthetics by putting together a robotic arm using wireless sensors for a mere $500. This shows how designers and engineers are working to bridge the gap between low cost 3D printing and traditionally expensive prosthetics.
