Youbionics is a company of Italian origin that became known a few years ago when presenting a bionic prosthesis. Which gave it a spot on our ranking of the best 3D printed prostheses. From this development they have recently unveiled their new project: a 3D printed bionic arm.
The company, that’s founded in Pavia in 2014, seeks to make use of new technologies to increase human capabilities. Building devices that can make us more skilled in our daily tasks. A plan very similar to the one they have in Third Thumb, which seeks to add a third thumb to our hands so that we are able to perform more tasks at once.
The new 3D printed bionic arm, is designed to add an extra arm to the user. Created with additive manufacturing technologies, very light and with the possibility of having externally controlled movements. Although the final idea is to be able to control that arm with the mind!
