Different polymers were used to fabricate different aspects of the 3D-printed appendage.

Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn’t use before.

Scientists can now 3D print a complex robotic hand with bones, tendons, and ligaments... just like the android hosts use in Westworld!

The hand was printed using a technique called slow-curing, which gives plastics more time to set and makes them more durable.

Researchers have, for the first time, printed a robotic hand with bones, ligaments, and tendons made of different polymers.

Researchers have successfully used a new laser scanning technique to 3D print a robotic hand equipped with bones, ligaments, and tendons made from various polymer

Researchers have developed a new 3D inkjet printing system that makes it easier to combine soft, elastic, and rigid materials for the field of soft robotics.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have succeeded for the first time in printing a robotic hand, made of different polymers, in one run.

In an advance for soft robotics, a new laser scanning technique has been used to 3D print a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons with slow curing polymers.

With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but soft enough to interact safely with humans.
