As we continue to see what's possible when sensors, electronics and 3D printing come together, some of the most impressive projects we've seen to date include various efforts towards building bionic hands for enabling those in need of a prosthesis.

Almost a year ago, 3Ders reported on an Italian start-up called Youbionic, which was founded by design engineer Federico Ciccarese. At the time, Ciccarese had revealed a 3D printed bionic hand that was capable of moving all five fingers. In comparison to commercial bionics that cost up to €20,000, the custom-made Youbionic hand costs just €1,000.
