Researcher Ryan Dehoff holds a plastic component made with polymer additive manufacturing at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility Oak Ridge National Laboratories January 26, 2012 in Oak Ridge, TN. The Robotic Hand costs approximately 10 times less than similar devices while commanding 10 times more power than other electric systems. Composed of only 46 parts, this simplified lightweight robotic hand can be manufactured and assembled within 40 hours, and its size can be adjusted based on need.
