Overview

My project is about making functional prosthetic hands more accessible and affordable than a smartphone. To achieve this, I use 3D printing to create lightweight, customizable parts that traditional manufacturing cannot produce. By utilizing compliant mechanisms, I have significantly reduced the part count, making the hand easier to assemble and more reliable. By combining this with readily available components, I am creating a solution that can be manufactured locally but changes lives globally.
