Prosthetic designers Open Bionics win second prize in Intel's 'Make it
  Wearable' Challenge 
From: 3ders - 11/04/2104

Joel Gibbard, mastermind behind the Bristol-based prosthetic company Open
Bionics, made a 3D printed, Star Wars-like prosthetic for a student.

Open Bionics have received an incredible and well-deserved boost by winning
the second prize in Intel's design competition, along with the $100,000 prize
that accompanies it. Joel was already aiming to release affordable 3D printed
bionic prosthetics on the market in a year's time, but this wonderful victory
will only stimulate his inspiring work.
