Youbionics is a company of Italian origin that became known a few years ago when presenting a bionic prosthesis. Which gave it a spot on our ranking of the best\u00a03D printed prostheses<\/a>.\u00a0From this development they have recently unveiled their new project: a 3D printed bionic arm.<\/p>\n

The company, that’s founded in Pavia in 2014,\u00a0seeks to make use of new technologies to increase human capabilities<\/strong>.\u00a0Building devices that can make us more skilled in our daily tasks.\u00a0A plan very similar to the one they have in\u00a0Third Thumb<\/a>, which seeks to add a third thumb to our hands so that we are able to perform more tasks at once.<\/p>\n

The new 3D printed bionic arm,\u00a0is designed to add an extra arm to the user.\u00a0<\/strong>Created with additive manufacturing technologies, very light and with the possibility of having externally controlled movements.\u00a0Although the final idea is to be able to control that arm with the mind!<\/p>

“These devices can increase people’s abilities when they are in a healthy body, but they can also recover skills if they replace parts of the body that do not work,<\/em>” said Federico Ciccarese, Youbionic founder of 3DPrint.<\/p>\n

The bionic arm that you print yourself<\/h2>\n

From the first launch of Youbionic, the company has shared everything so\u00a0you can print it yourself from home<\/strong>, and in the case of your bionic arm there have been made no exception.\u00a0The price of the arm is $ 149, something that does not differ much from the $ 99, of the bionic hand.\u00a0According to the company, it can be printed with\u00a0PLA<\/a>\u00a0and then acquire, externally, the non-printable elements without any problem.\u00a0The sale of their developments has helped them to raise funds to continue their research and manufacture more prostheses.<\/p>\n

The introduction of\u00a03D printing in the medical field<\/a>\u00a0has opened many developments.\u00a0Currently allowing access to this type of development in this sector can guarantee saving many lives.\u00a0Youbionic seeks not only to increase capabilities, but also to help many people who have lost a limb to be able to get back to their daily lives.<\/p>\n
