Open Bionics Is Creating Affordable And Stylish 3D Printed Protheses
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лют 2018
- This company is changing the way we see prostheses. Open Bionics is a UK-based start-up tech company. Its mission is to create affordable 3D printed prostheses. They are about 30 times cheaper than other prostheses on the market.
They operate using sensors attached to the skin to detect muscle movements. The muscle movements control the hand and open and close fingers.

This sort of thing brings tears to my eyes. There is a special place in heaven for people who do this kind of work.
Love 3D printers. Not only are they able to make prosthetics but soon fully automatic weapons and explosives. Technology gives and takes away.
@krosny
Easily affordable 3D printers will NOT be making "fully automatic weapons" any time soon, and they will likely 'never' be able to make explosives. 3D printers additively apply 'existing' materials to a structure. Explosives require the mixing of different chemicals to create new compounds, a completely different process than 3D printers. One can create explosives on their own with (dangerous) garage chemistry, and we've been able to do that for a very long time, but we won't be seeing any major improvements in the common man's ability to do it due to these new advances. Fully automatic weapons on the other hand 'could' be made in theory by MUCH more advanced 3D printers, but for several decades yet, such printers will be WAY beyond the level of affordability for the average Joe. They would require printing using very high quality steel to extreme exacting measure. Current affordable printers print using a low quality plastic, they are pretty close to toys for most applications.
Peter Cohen "In recent months, we've seen metal laser sintering technology produce 3D-printed guns that can fire thousands of rounds and are practically indistinguishable from manufactured guns. We've seen durable rifles that are entirely 3D-printed. Heck, we've even seen custom bullets that are specifically designed to work with 3D-printed guns. The inventor hopes to use them to produce semiautomatic and even fully automatic 3D-printed guns."
--Gizmodo 01/06/15
Notice this article was written in 2015. Doesn't sound like it will take decades. As to explosives, Muslims have used simple pressure cooker, pipe and nail bombs to commit murder all over the world. And that is without the aid of 3D printers. There is no limit to what 3D printers will be able to do explosive-wise sooner rather than later.
Honestly it warmed my heart till "royalty free" came up and thats when the tears came lol. ANY kid would kill for an Iron Man hand/arm as more of a "Power" behind the loss. To see theyre not going "OK, we like the idea.....for $1,000. unit." REALLY took me. Bravo OB, bravo Disney
It takes a lot of time, money, and work to make a 3D printed gun. You need a certain kind of 3D printer of which prints metal, but it’s extremely expensive and it’s slow.
It’s faster to just cast a firearm and assemble it than to 3D print it. 3D printing is slow, and I know it because I myself own a 3D printer.
What do you know, when a company isn't focused on infinite profit, and instead actually helping people, amazing things get done.
Cool
Every single company needs profit. Profit is the reason that sparks innovation. She's trying to sell it to the masses by making it affordable not non-profitable.
Matthew Van Loon He didn't say they wouldnt get any profit, he just said they cut the product price to help the customer
TheTeddyChannel
They never cut price, they're using lower tier materials to make existing technology more accessible to the poor and middle class.
You cannot expect high end (new) technology to be immediately affordable for the mass market.
Also, he was talking about "infinite profit". probably not knowing how businesses work. You cannot start a business and ask for a high price, because nobody will (be able to) buy your products, thus you end up being bankrupt.
Matthew Van Loon they cut the price by using lower tier materials.
Honestly one of the most creative ideas ever. I bet I would've loved to buy one of those if I'm missing an arm.
I got a saw, need it?
I actually want to cut off my arm to get one of these xD
The funny thing is, artificial limbs will eventually be more powerful and useful than biological limbs. People will be paying for augmentation. There would also be attachments for different scenarios. Want to rock climb? Here's climbing pick hands. Want to perform a surgery with steady hands? That would also probably be a thing.
Won't be long before it will be legs, no reason why this type of tech couldn't be used to make an enhancement suit using 3d printed parts.
Exo suit.
Then the money made from people just wanting these things willing to pay, that money could go into the NHS to help pay towards to the cost for those who need them.
The more people have them the more advances are made.
EdgeBlade KnifeSword That's so true, I hope it to be prohibited, and companies to be conscious about it, and just leave it as it is, a replacement for biological limbs for people that need it, no mods, no gadgets, etc. Instead of that, invest the money to improve it and make it more real.
Respect for this people who help this kids

Kudos to Disney too for not charging them.
Michael Priest not really : amputees are a minority. As for me, I've been interested in cybernetic limbs for years and it's the first I'm hearing of it. And I'm already a Disney fanboy. I think the market is simply too small and someone at Disney felt it was good for their karma.
Jean Roch No it's definitely a marketing campaign. It doesn't matter what the size of the amputee market is, other people who don't have missing limbs who see that Disney is doing this will still feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and Disney still benefits from that. But just because Disney's primary motivation is advertising doesn't mean that the people who greenlit this idea don't want to help amputees - in fact, I am sure that they are genuinely happy to help, because why wouldn't they be. The two motivations are not mutually exclusive.
EpicBradley129 I’m sure they do want a good reputation, but I’m also sure there are compassionate people as well at Disney.
People are so gullible. Of course, this is all Disney marketing. The people creating these prosthetics did great, Disney is simply capitalizing on it. This isn't the company of Walt Disney anymore, it is a ruthless multi-billion dollar corporation. If you don't know how ruthless of a company they are, they you don't know the Disney Corporation.
@@stickman1742 Have your read about Walt Disney? The idea that Disney ever something different than a corporation is the mind boggling thing here. Walt Disney could be a right nasty bastard.
People however should stop expecting other people to be Buddha before admitting something they did was nice. So what, if they did it for PR? Otherwise they would have the legal right to prevent Disney copyrighted brands to be used here.
I like when they use technology to help people🙂☺😉
dont they already do that for donation?
aimesry hisery not alone .😀
Too bad we put most of our tax money on technology to kill....
4 words: Fullmetal. Alchemist. Style. Prosthetics.
Jack Rollin Deus. Ex. HR.
One more terminator is near
Wicked
people deserve those
I'd rather have one that is literally a Swiss knife but more "handy" hehe gei it because it's my hand... Hehe... Eee yea it's awful
The next huge milestone will be installing sensors so you can actually *feel* what you are touching with your hands.
Steven Lewis that’s actually a great idea and I hope someone makes that a reality
They already have that
ua-cam.com/video/F_brnKz_2tI/v-deo.html
EdgeBlade KnifeSword incredible. Thanks for sharing. But I noticed that it can still be improved. There’s a long way to go before this technology is finished. That was truly amazing
We already have that tech dum dum
Steven Lewis technology is never finished. It's 2018 and we're still making new types of doors.
FUCKEN AWESOME!!!!!!!!! FINALLY we have made steps forward instead of the primitive captain hook solution ..... Time to invest hehe
I think in this case, it would be a donation
Agreed. Maybe pull some strings in that patent office too.
How could someone dislike such a video showing good work
I love how aesthetically pleasing these pieces are.
The happiness on those kids faces is enough for this to be a fantastic thing. Excellent.
3rd 😇. Pd.: Love all your videos I'm a very curious person and this channel is perfect for me, keep up the good work 💞
You are amazing, your company is amazing, and Disney doing royalty free is amazing! 🤩
Your making a positive difference in the world and that’s incredible ❤️
Wow I'm Soo proud of you guys...I'm speechless it actually makes me tear up knowing how far we humans have come and to see the faces on them kids and adults is priceless
I'm amazed at the quality of the arms. The look on the kids faces when they try them out for the first time. Priceless. Can't wait for the future technics and see what they come up with. Kept at it. 👌👍
they should make a fullmetall alchemist arm like ed has
Shewit Gabriel hope they don't create any homunculus
Yeeeeees!
Literally the first thing that came to my mind XD
Shewit Gabriel lol
Remicreeps♥ same
This is amazing...
Amazing idea from amazing people. Making this technology eventually available to the masses is just oustanding. My compliment to the founders of open bionics, truly remarkable people.
Beautiful! Thank you for making this affordable to any one who needs it. God bless you keep up the great work! The smiles on their faces speak for them selves.
Really looking forward on further advancements of these things
"DsX"
It's Deus Ex. The least you could've done is Google it or something.
Still an awesome arm, though.
ericbazinga same thing I thought
ericbazinga i never asked for this
I love that they heard D.S.X. and decided that it should, probably, be written as "DsX"... Like SOME effort was put in, just not enough to find out what she actually said.
Louard Yeah. To be honest, "DsX" does sound like a cool name for somwthing
Um, the one that looks like Adam Jensen's arm is EXACTLY like it so I'm pretty sure they're overly familiar with how it's spelled.
Absolutely amazing work you guys are doing, bringing help to those less off than others but it must be so emotional to see your child fitted with a fully functional arm and hand again so the can live there childhood.
Being a hand amputee myself, I really can't wait 'till these come out to the public. I'm so excited to see what the future holds in store for prosthetic devices
When I was a kid watching Star Wars, and having my trusty white 286 in the corner I didn't think I would live in the future. But as is inevitable...the future is here.
Faith in Humanity Restored...
Thank you guys for this. I can really appreciate the work you guys are doing and freedom and joy you are giving to these kidz and adults. SUPER COOL.
Feckin Awesome!. I bet everyone involved is super proud. Impossible not to feel that way with those kids around!. I wish I could be involved in this project.
Woah!! Its auto-mail guys!!!
they should do an edward style prostetic/auto-mail
Shewit Gabriel Nah! They should do the cannon prosthetic arm of Guts the Black Swordsman, the most badass character to come out of Japan: ua-cam.com/video/11hauEzyQC8/v-deo.html
Shewit Gabriel yesssss
In the future someone may pretend to accidentally cut their arm in order to have a bionic super arm, mark my words
Thank u open bionics because realize my dream to help someone who disable n dont have a limb..thank u so much..u all make my dream come true..
Thank you for helping all these people, truly appreciate your work.👍❣️
It costs about a $1000 right? I mean it's still alot of money but most boinic limbs currently cost 30k. 1k for an *arm* seems pretty legit.
It's nothing if you have a good job instead of poor one.
People build expensive PC's like it's nothing and guess why? Just for gaming.
No proper job to earn from PC, such as 3D animations and making games.
Smart person invest hard money on quality that'll improve his/her life for family and self, not for stupidity.
I think some of them sell for only a couple hundred dollars. Not certain about that though, I am not in need of one to be researching it that much. They are super cool though! In love with the idea of being able to design it to look like your favourite characters arm! I would personally go for the Deus Ex one if I needed, or some other bionic character from a video game.
Realistically shouldn't all prosthetic arms come with a built in flash light? Think about it
Bustin Feelsgood and a USB charger for your phone!
and when we get the touch sensors in them you can feel the USB charger going into it!
Yeah!
Or at least a flesh light.
And a shotgun
Wow u people are really awesome and this is such an achievement. Thank you and all Ur team mates for working on these and making these.
Great use of resources and technology. It's wonderful to hear that children's needs are being addressed. Kudos!
Thanks for sharing. Blessings
We need full metal and Alita battle angel arms
“I never asked for this.”
dues ex !!!
Or as the captions said, "DsX" ...
JaundiceJoe lol
im pretty sure a lot of them did tho. :P
Incredible work! Keep it up, love to see future development
This is SO important for people with limited means. AND for them to be usable and not some over bearing, heavy claw like alot of people have had to deal with. Right on!
"DsX" lol, good job subtitles....it's "Deus Ex" ;)
I can see Disney slamming their copyright hammer on this company should it become profitable -_-
They won't. Ever. This benefits them much more reinforcing their brand image. How many limbless children do you think are out there to even remotely made this profitable enough to intrigue a company the size of Disney?
The video mentions they have a royalty-free arrangement with Disney, so...
M A C hooray for Disney :))
you saying Disney, is gonna crack down on a company helping crippled kids get their arms back?
look disney can be jerks sure, but this would be killing poppies leve evil, that would be the dumbest thing Disney could ever do, and they would probably end up losing to.
Darth Maal But would have the legal right to do so. If anybody wants to use Disney characters are on their products, then they need to ask first. Let me put it this way... What if somebody wanted to use one of your creations on their products? Good intention OR bad intention if they don't ask, then it's stealing.
This is a company that people all around the world should be inspired by. Heros that may never realize how they really or heros to some of us. Smiling faces better quality of life an hopefully many happy stories for others to hear. I absolutely love people an companies like this.
Absolutely outstanding work!!! Congratulations
0:49 she says DEMOCRATIZE here, not "De-Marketize".
Actually demarketizing would be crap. good luck on funding meds' researches, nerve-controlled artificial limbs, eye prosthetics etc. on Kickstarter :) "6 months to gather just 10 000 000$! We can did it!"
Actually she didn't say demarketize
Need a bionic arm like Detective Spooner from *I, Robot* so I can punch a homicidal robot and defend myself.
Amazing, a nice work for the sake of humanity and its brilliant future. Glad to see those kids smiling. Personalized prosthetics, awesome idea.
Honestly one of the most creative ideas ever to help people and especially Children
That Girl 😘 though 😍😍🙌👆💗
Brock Lesnar I would totally take a handy from her bionic arm.
Kylo Ren: "What girl?"
It's Grace Mandeville. She has a UA-cam channel called Mandeville Sisters. You're welcome.
Who is she?
I figure, what the heck, and I slice off the rest of my arm with a particle saw. And my dad's all like, "Uhh! Ohh! Uhh!" And blood's like, going everywhere. But a few hours and a few pints of blood later, I built a metal arm strong enough to smash concrete!
why not cut both off, and the you head to.
wouldn't it be cool with a 3D printed robot head? just giving ideas her. ^^
ScionStorm no he was playing with his 3rd leg
PinguOurLordAndSaviour was it a prosthetic third leg?
Borderlands 2?
Its wonderful what you guys do. May God bless you guys in all the good work that you do.
This is amazing.Its so amazing how fast we are advancing in science!
Asome job those guys did,really cool!
God bless!
Great,
Now I want to cut off my arm..
U not deserve to get that thing
That is the dumbest comment I have seen in a while....
DoubleJayPotato but made me laugh 😅😅
Alittlebig Ray lol same
You should be thankful to God that your physique extremities are intact. Think before you speak. #Sorry
I don't want my real arm anymore......😂
ThatShyGuyis ME XD
Please, be careful about what you say
There hands seem a bit slow I'm gonna wait for bionics to be crazy fast like being able to independently flail my fingers before I decide.
I guess u should keep your real arm because we made machine we should rule machine not the opposite.
You're joking, but within this century bionic limbs will advance so much that they will eventually outclass biological limbs in every way, and people will in fact start cutting off their arms to receive a bionic one.
I love this! So amazing and inspiring.
Amazing work here. I also saw a company in the US called "Unlimited Tomorrow" doing almost the same thing. Scanning and 3D printing bionic arms with a focus on better quality at a lower cost for children. Only they focused on making the bionic match the skin tone of the user. These seem to be more advanced though, with the users doing more complex things with them. I have to admit if I ever lost an arm I would want the Star Wars style I saw here.
Who else came to watch this video because of the beautiful girl in the thumbnail?🤔
I wish I could say I didn't...but yeah...I did.
Do you know her name?
Lol me too
I'm going to purposely cut my arm off to purchase one
You can probably buy one without needing a prosthetic. Just say it's for robotics experiments if they ask.
Крутые ребята!!! Спасибо огромное за помощь людям с ограниченными возможностями, вы даёте им второй шанс обрести полноценную жизнь.
It’s a gods work that you people have been doing, good job guys
Now i want to cut my arm and become a cyborg
Technically old people with pacemakers in them are cyborgs.
Try bringing someone to life, works everytime can confirm
Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm..... no Full metal alchemist arm... disappointed 😔
Amazing work, the world needs more innovation like this.
Its so fantastic! Lovely!
This is so cool. I wish I had the tech skills to make something like that.
This is awesome.
Now make the movement faster. Keep up the great work open bionics
Really love you & your work
Wonderful! Just wonderful!!
Great work I appreciate it millions of people out there who need arms legs at affordable prize n with amazing abilities
Marvelous. Science and compassion. This is the true North Star of human intelligence. Oh, what a wonderful world we could have. God bless this wonderful endeavor.
1:31 look at that happy little chap
Thank goodness for the UK.
Замечательная работа, превосходный результат!
they look so cool!
im pretty sure i saw these guys somewhere. they are doing really cool stuff and im so happy its at this price. they are amazing
This is awesome glad somebody is doing this, I had an idea like this years ago when I saw terminator, way before 3D printing. Really simple idea of letting people have designer prosthesis because who wants a clunky arm/leg/whatever, when they could have terminator skeleton arm or streamlined contemporary look. Wanted people to have something that was wholly theirs, that they could design themselves to an extent and I'd build it for them. Wasn't practical back then but maybe now there's hope for it with new advances.
I am so psyched for this! :D
Excellent. Best of luck with this project!
Yeeees! This is the coolest thing I have seen in awhile.
Wow... just wow ... affordable and high quality .. People who really need one can have one..
This is the 3D printer being used to change lives.
It will grow really fast
Very nicely done.
Very nice. Great work
Grace Mandeville's prosthetic arm looks incredible and looks so light weight. I hope I can start helping others with this incredible technology. Now to dial in my printer and learn to air brush
You guys are amazing 🙏
Props to these people.
Well Done. Very clever ideas.
I absolutely LOVE the arrangement with Disney and the cool science fiction limbs. It allows people with prosthetics to feel proud and get good attention about their limb. So awesome.
Its so amazing that they make this!
Happy for them !
This is the kind of technology that humanity needs. I really like this video.
Awesome, they actually work and look really cool, technology really is moving forward.
Awesome tech and channel!
Great Work. There're still people with good heart in this world that use money for unselfish reasons.
This is truly amazing.
You are doing really a good job.
Would have been so proud to have worked on a project like this ❤
I loved the video. It's fantastic to see what technology is doing here. And I also love the royalty free collaboration with Disney. Thank you.
This is really cool en respect to THE people who have that
HECK YEAH!! YOU GUYS ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!
Awesome work
