Las láminas termoplásticas se usan mucho en el campo de las prótesis para fabricar conexiones protésicas y componentes estructurales. Estos materiales están disponibles en láminas de varios grosores y colores. Los tipos más básicos son el polipropileno y polietileno. El polipropileno (PP) es un plástico muy rígido para el que se han encontrado varios usos en protésica. La estructura de soporte de la conexión protésica suele fabricarse con polipropileno. El polietileno (PE) de baja densidad es un termoplástico blando y flexible que puede usarse para las conexiones protésicas. Una de las ventajas de estos y otros tipos de termoplástico es que se pueden remodelar.

- ABS: Es el plástico que sueles encontrar en electrodomésticos y juguetes como el Lego. Esmuy duro y resiste altas temperaturas. Para mejor, es fácil pintar sobre el, o pegar diferentes partes. Eso sí: es más difícil de usar por un novato y requiere que la impresora tenga una superficie capaz de calentarse a altas temperaturas.

- PLA: Es un termoplástico de origen natural, cuya ventaja es la gran cantidad de colores disponibles y que permite impresiones más rápidas.2 Además no emite gases perjudiciales al salir del extrusor (a diferencia del ABS). Es el material ideal para empezar en la impresión en 3D, y para objetos que no requieran mucha resistencia (como adornos).

SEE BELOW FOR OUR CURRENTLY AND MOST USED DESIGNS AND LINKS TO THEIR FILES:

PHOENIX HAND - Widely used, improvement of the Raptor Reloaded design and has assembly instructions available.
WRIST DRIVEN: User must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when wrist is bent.
This design was created by Jason Bryant, e-NABLE volunteer, researcher and teacher at Shandong University in China. His design is an amalgamation of the Raptor Reloaded hand and the Falcon V1 hand designed by Dr Adam Arabian from Seattle Pacific University. The Falcon V1 was the first e-NABLE 3D printed hand prototype to use orthodontic rubber bands as opposed to the elastic cords that current devices use.

Raptor Reloaded - Widely used, easy to assemble with written and video tutorials available.
WRIST DRIVEN: User must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when wrist is bent.
The team behind the original Raptor has released the Raptor Reloaded, an updated and re-factored version of the Raptor Hand created by Andreas Bastian, Frankie Flood, Peter Binkley, Jeremy Simon and Ivan Owen. The entire device was modeled in Fusion 360, a free CAD tool that can import and export most standard solid body modeling formats such as STEP and IGES. By designing the hand in a tool compatible with numerous CAD packages, we hope to lower the barrier to contribution to the e-NABLE project for engineers and designers. The Raptor Reloaded is shared under the BSD License.

The Osprey Hand - Becoming more widely used and has video instructions available.
WRIST DRIVEN: User must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when wrist is bent.
The Osprey is the latest wrist actuated assistive device to come out of the Alderhand series created by Peter Binkley and Peregrine Hawthorn. (Others in the series are the Talon and Ody hands.)

The Osprey is the first ever hand designed specifically to use a Bowden push-pull mechanism. Rather than use thin braided line, the Osprey uses thick nylon monofilament cables.

WRIST DRIVEN: User must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when wrist is bent.

Developed by Jorge Zuniga and his research group at Creighton University, the Cyborg Beast is one of e-NABLE's most popular designs. Among its features are textured finger tips for improved grip, Chicago screw joints, protected cable routing through the body of the palm, and integrated tensioning system in the gauntlet. The Cyborg Beast is licensed under the Creative Commons-Attribution-Non-Commercial license.

WRIST DRIVEN: User must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when wrist is bent.

The Talon Hand is probably the most durable e-Nable hand design and boasts the greatest grip strength, but relies on a user with a greater range of motion. This design was created by Peter Binkley and his son Peregrine Hawthorn who is also a device user. It is also one of the more challenging and time-consuming e-Nable device to assemble. The Talon mounts onto a leather shoe-and-cuff to make it wearable by the user. The Talon Hand is licensed under GNU GPL V3.

WRIST DRIVEN: User must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when wrist is bent.

The Ody Hand is intended for younger users, is quite durable, and works very well printed at smaller scales. The three-digit design, created by Peter Binkley, offers lower grip resistance than five-fingered devices, so it requires less strength to operate. Its shoe-and-cuff construction process is very similar to that of the Talon Hand. The Ody Hand is licensed under GNU GPL V3.
WRIST DRIVEN: User must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when wrist is bent.
The Flexy Hand 2, designed by Steve Wood, is a wearable prosthetic device made using flexible hinges. Using flexible filament for the hinges means that no elastic cords are necessary to return the fingers to their outstretched position. The Flexy Hand 2 is shared under the Attribution - Non-Commercial - Share Alike license.

The Knick Finger

Created by Nick Brookins, this partial replacement finger design is a parametric finger that can be customized to a user's individual measurements. This has been released to the public domain via the Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication license.
ELBOW DRIVEN: Users must have a functional elbow that bends to force the fingers closed on the hand.
The RIT Arm is an adaptive device people an arm with an elbow but no wrist. It can be actuated by bending the residual elbow or via a bowden cable connected to a shoulder harness. The arm was originally developed by e-NABLE members at Rochester Institute of Technology.

El padre le hace una prótesis de mano con una impresora 3D por menos de 5€

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Un estadounidense llamado Paul McCarthy ha construido una mano artificial por medio de una impresora 3D para su hijo. El dispositivo le llevó al padre dos años desarrollarlo y lo hizo por tan sólo 5 dólares (3,71 euros), algo que contrasta bastante con las prótesis típicas, que cuestan hasta 30.000 dólares (22,251 euros).

Alumnos y profesores de la Universidad CEU San Pablo de Madrid (España) han construido una prótesis de mano para un niño de 6 años con tecnología de impresión 3D, con un diseño adaptado a su edad e inspirado en su superhéroe favorito, Iron Man.

El proyecto ha estado liderado por la directora del FabLab Madrid CEU, Covadonga Lorenzo.

FabLab Madrid CEU pertenece a la red mundial de laboratorios del Center for Bits and Atoms del MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) y forma parte de la asociación Enabling the Future que facilita manos protésicas diseñadas y construidas por voluntarios para niños que provienen de familias con bajos recursos económicos que no pueden permitirse una prótesis convencional de coste muy elevado.

Tras realizar varios prototipos, en el modelo definitivo todas las piezas - incluidas las articulaciones - se han realizado mediante impresión 3D, lo que ha permitido un mayor ajuste y mejor funcionamiento de la prótesis, así como una reducción en su coste de los 6000 hasta los 40 euros.

También, se ha adaptado el diseño a la edad del pequeño, realizando las partes de la prótesis con materiales de distintos colores inspirados en la mano de su superhéroe favorito: Iron Man.

En la misma línea, pero de mayor complejidad, se encuentra el brazo eléctrico - actualmente en fabricación - el cual dispone de un motor que permite el movimiento de los dedos de la mano gracias a su activación mediante un sensor incorporado en el antebrazo, adecuado para aquellas personas con amputación de una mano.

En el mes de julio, FabLab Madrid CEU acogerá un taller en el que se explicará el montaje y la fabricación de esta prótesis dentro del marco del curso de la Summer University: "Tecnología biónica en medicina: prótesis, órtesis y órganos biónicos", en el que además tendrán lugar diversas conferencias impartidas por médicos, fisioterapeutas e ingenieros que trabajan en centros de investigación de prótesis punteros en España.
