Handsmith: Changing an Industry, and Lives, with 3D Printed Prosthetics

By day, Lyman Connor works as a software engineer at General Electric. By night, he builds 3D printed custom prosthetic hands. With a small facility of four desktop 3D printers, Lyman has just fit his first patient and moved into production. Find out more: bit.ly/3gQvGGe

Hey my name is Riley Osborne and I was born without a forearm and with out my hand. I tried a lot of Prosthetics, just plastic ones but they all just made me so frustrated they don't fit right and they didn't fit my needs. What you are making is the new future and it would be awesome if I could see where to get one of those Prosthetics. I'm 12 years old and so I have a whole future in front of me that I am willing to put the work in to learn how to use this arm. I've been looking into a lot of prosthetic arms like the e Nable 3D printed arm and it's super cool I just need something a little bit more and now that I've seen this my eyes are wide open to see the future.

Good for Formlabs! Hope for the future!

Amazing work on this cool machine...

[@luvfinger]

Wow - I hope the same theory can be applied to dental work in the near future.

"Adding insult to injury" strikes a lot

[@Nyerguds]

3:28 exposed gears, though? That seems a little unsafe. Most designs use cables for that.

[@eingamel]

I'm sure they will cover the mechanical eventually. Right now, it looks like a prototype stage that doesn't want a skin getting in the way of seeing how things work. Personally, I like the gear method, since it gives greater control than cables.

[@dan3a]

It looks dope though

[@greed4386]

Wich kind of motors are those?

[@Nozz92]

Formlabs what is the song track you used in the video with the saxophone @2:36? Thank you very much for this motivating video! Bless you guys for helping people who need prosthetics to make a better tomorrow!

Is this automail in the making? (You wouldn't know unless you watch Fullmetal Alchemist)

[@cboy-ou2hr]

I get it but you something in equal exchange

[@macberry4048]

3d printed circuit boards and metal 3d printing are going to make these hands cheaper and more durable

[@IBuildCyborgs]

this hand design looks like a direct rip-off of the i-Limb, very cool though

[@milesglasgow5016]

Does anyone know lyman connor KZbin channel

[@siddharthsiddy913]

its awesome but i think new invention using bionics can helpfull for dwarfs

[@bradytoothlesstaylor122]

Luke skywlker!
