3D Printing Revolutionizes Affordable Prosthetics with Prusa Technology

The Victoria Hand Project from Canada harnesses the power of 3D printing to produce accessible and affordable upper-limb prosthetic devices, each costing approximately 150 USD and tailored to individual users within just a few days. By leveraging its proprietary software and collaborating with a widespread international network of clinics, the project ensures that prostheses can be manufactured locally in locations such as Ukraine, Africa, and beyond, significantly reducing barriers to access. Central to the project's effectiveness are the reliability and advanced capabilities of the Original Prusa XL and other Prusa 3D printers. These machines enable the rapid and precise fabrication of intricate prosthetic components, including complex above-elbow sockets, even when operating under demanding or resource-limited conditions. This innovative approach not only streamlines the production process but also empowers local communities to deliver high-quality, custom-fit prosthetic solutions to those in need.
