Open Bionics: Blender Used in Prosthetic Arm Creation
TheCGMaster spotted a new update by Open Bionics on their prosthetic arm project. Using muscle sensors they can drive 4 motors in a 3D printed arm. And not only that, their designs look awesome :) We’ve featured them before, but it seems they’re making a lof of progress.

Hey BlenderNation, recently i saw something interesting on a video talking about prosthetic arm creation, the video went viral and appeared on the trending page for some time. The video for about 0.5 seconds showed a clip of the team modeling a prosthetic with blender. Blender at 3:17. I thought it would be a cool post!
Beautiful mecha hand. Are they have brain wave controller ?

Amazing. These are the things that make you feel hope for the human race.
That is really fantastic. I agree with ENV gives me hope too. This is what an opensource world could be like. you guys rock.
I think we focus so much on having blender be included in the movie/game industry, that we forget the fantastic things people are doing with it in other fields. It is truly amazing!
