Advanced Prosthetics: How PSYONIC Developed a Bionic Hand Using 3D Printing

PSYONIC is creating something incredible: they’re redefining what is possible by building advanced prosthetics. Read the full story: bit.ly/3UC3UiY

Around the world over 50 million people suffer limb amputation due to traumatic causes. For patients recovering from a medical emergency, entering the new world of prosthetics can be painful. Most want to return to normal life: to drive a car, to workout at the gym, to clean up around the house. But most traditional prosthetic limbs are crude, expensive, and fragile. Approximately 10% of patients requiring an advanced prosthetic arm can afford them today.
One company trying to upend the market is PSYONIC, creator of the Ability Hand. Designed and manufactured in-house with hybrid manufacturing methods, including 3D printing, injection and silicone molding, and CNC machines, the Ability Hand is promising to restore their life, and mobility, back to what it was.
In this post, we sit down with CEO Aadeel Akhtar, PhD and lead Mechanical Engineer James Austin to learn how they built the Ability Hand, and how 3D printing was a vital part of their go-to-market strategy. We’ll also meet Sergeant Garrett Anderson, one of the first power-users of the Ability Hand.

im a guitarist of over a decade and I have sarcoma cancer, the doctors are planning on amputating my left hand so I will probably never be able to play guitar again but this gives me hope that maybe ill be able to find a company who's willing to go the extra mile to make something that could restore the ability that I lost.

[@emilybrauer9848]

This is incredible. You've thought through so attentively to so many details even down to affordability. I am so excited to see you guys continue to advance this research! As a nurse I see so many broken bodies. This is amazing to see this form of creativity and advocacy for humans on the technological, innovative design end. Wow. :)

[@ParaChristian]

The guy is right. I became paralyzed September of 23 and you never know what you take for granted till you lose it. Guys, appreciate what you have, because there are people out there that don’t have it.

[@ReaIBreaker]

Silverhand broo 🦾

[@brently1968able]

When do you think a functional bending wrist will be possible? I think that joints are one of the last major critical aspects to realistic functionality. Keep going, you all are doing miracles!!!

[@aaronjennings8385]

Sounds good.

[@kedrickragland9628]

I can only understand the hurt for anyone especially our active duty one's cause I know what I have lost and need this turn around

[@TheNocturnalLogician]

Good, goooooood, everything is progressing quite nicely 🐺

[@UlyssesDrax]

Good, goooooood, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. By now, you must know that your father can never be turned from the dark side of the force.

[@sammarsame]

thank you bro for your sharing.

[@foxxyboxxy9348]

This is very impressive. But tbh, the state bionic limbs are in general despite the huge progress in AI, robotics etc, is somewhat lackluster. Is the market for these things so small that companies just don't invest?

[@ronsrg5]

Do you have anything that helps someone who hasn’t lost a limb?? I had a stroke but I can’t control my wrist and fingers??..

[@gnagyusa]

Awesome.

[@farscape3100]

one question and yes it might be some thing you may of not thought of but are you able to clean yourself up with this hand after going to the bathroom ?

[@SkotWiedmann0]

😍😍😍😍

[@nkmastro2099]

sir please tell me how i can get this hand and wt is the cost of it . i required only blow knee hand.

[@devinsweeten5354]

What companies are also doing similar work and what kind of education would i need to get in this field it’s my dream to work in this field in any way so that I could have this available to as many people as possible and even advance upon this technology

[@user-dy5uk9ow9k]

son born qst Jan 2023 same like u I hope u feel my pain can anyone help me to purchase prosthetic hand me give u proof we not afford prosthetic in Pakistan 😭😭😭

[@imarchello]

Do you have any student robotics teams in Pakistan? Maybe they can make something similar.

[@PastorFrancisco-vh2os]

Holá saludos desde bolivia tienes buena tegnologia me gusta los manos bionicas que fabrican ustedes yo igual necesito me amputaron el brazo.

[@KuddlesbergTheFirst]

Nowadays you can 3d print flesh with hydroxyapatite bones and stitch them onto a person?

[@thegodfather-sp3to]

I want to work with you, how could I do that?

[@riverjackvlog673]

Can I know how much cost

[@ethanw041]

a lot

[@bionicwarrior5885]

no he said it made it affordable so your insurance can approve it 25 gs sounds like al;ot but compared to other bionic hands i got a Covvi Hand whioch is not as great as this one nd my insurance paid 45gs !

[@ReinLable]

If for some reason insurance doesn't cover it or parts of it, then it's Between 15-20K for the arm depending on the model etc etc... I'm guessing the insurance part is for US citizens, different countries different deals

[@SUDRAJ1527]

Is this facility available in India

[@bradb7342]

This will work well for androids as well

[@arteriasartsinteriordecor4872]

Watched you on Shark Tank. Was wondering why you didn't do feet as well ? I realize that it is our feet do a completely different job than hands. However, statistically, you could double your business by doing feet. Just a thought. Thanks.

[@UrbanWolf5652]

Are you guys biomedical engineers.

[@NIYXH701IO]

Bioprint nanobots to regenerate tissue at designed immortal cells, modeled at molecular editors available for android.
