/ Design and implementation of a prosthetic hand inexpensive 3D printer

Abstract

"The main objective of this paper is to present the design and implementation of low-cost prosthesis that covers the basic needs built using 3D printing, especially the development of this prosthesis is focused especially lowincome children with some form of amputation or malformation in his upper extremities, primarily an electromyograph to capture the electrical signals that cause the body’s muscles and amplify the movement, so that later can be processed by an Arduino development board that functions as the central system was designed process of the prosthesis, and the system developed signs proceeded to assemble the mechanical construction of the prosthesis by 3D printer. The first tests were conducted with the prototype completed threw a lot of data on the treatment of the signs that served to make changes and get the performance you 
need. This work is accomplished to develop a 
basic control system that can be adapted to 
any type of requirement and demonstrate once 
again that the implementation of engineering 
at solving local and global issues is perhaps the 
most rewarding recognition."
