The 3D printed creation that replaced a $42,000 prosthetic From: ECN - 04/24/2014 Jeremy Simon from 3D universe was able to create a 3D-printed hand that he calls the Cyborg Beast. It's a completely mechanical device made from ABS plastic with a series of flexible cords that allow it to act like a real hand. It turned out so well that the patient says he prefers it for day-to-day use.
