A new 3D printer that can simultaneously print polymers of different elasticity and rigidity allows Swiss researchers to build a fully functional robotic human hand with bones, ligaments, and tendons.
<p><strong>For the first time, researchers have succeeded in printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers using a new laser scanning technique. The new technology makes it possible to 3D print special plastics with elastic qualities in one go. This opens up co...
