- This company is changing the way we see prostheses. Open Bionics is a UK-based start-up tech company. Its mission is to create affordable 3D printed prostheses. They are about 30 times cheaper than other prostheses on the market.
They operate using sensors attached to the skin to detect muscle movements. The muscle movements control the hand and open and close fingers.

This sort of thing brings tears to my eyes. There is a special place in heaven for people who do this kind of work.
Love 3D printers. Not only are they able to make prosthetics but soon fully automatic weapons and explosives. Technology gives and takes away.
@krosny
Easily affordable 3D printers will NOT be making "fully automatic weapons" any time soon, and they will likely 'never' be able to make explosives. 3D printers additively apply 'existing' materials to a structure. Explosives require the mixing of different chemicals to create new compounds, a completely different process than 3D printers. One can create explosives on their own with (dangerous) garage chemistry, and we've been able to do that for a very long time, but we won't be seeing any major improvements in the common man's ability to do it due to these new advances. Fully automatic weapons on the other hand 'could' be made in theory by MUCH more advanced 3D printers, but for several decades yet, such printers will be WAY beyond the level of affordability for the average Joe. They would require printing using very high quality steel to extreme exacting measure. Current affordable printers print using a low quality plastic, they are pretty close to toys for most applications.
Peter Cohen "In recent months, we've seen metal laser sintering technology produce 3D-printed guns that can fire thousands of rounds and are practically indistinguishable from manufactured guns. We've seen durable rifles that are entirely 3D-printed. Heck, we've even seen custom bullets that are specifically designed to work with 3D-printed guns. The inventor hopes to use them to produce semiautomatic and even fully automatic 3D-printed guns."
--Gizmodo 01/06/15
Notice this article was written in 2015. Doesn't sound like it will take decades. As to explosives, Muslims have used simple pressure cooker, pipe and nail bombs to commit murder all over the world. And that is without the aid of 3D printers. There is no limit to what 3D printers will be able to do explosive-wise sooner rather than later.
Honestly it warmed my heart till "royalty free" came up and thats when the tears came lol. ANY kid would kill for an Iron Man hand/arm as more of a "Power" behind the loss. To see theyre not going "OK, we like the idea.....for $1,000. unit." REALLY took me. Bravo OB, bravo Disney
It takes a lot of time, money, and work to make a 3D printed gun. You need a certain kind of 3D printer of which prints metal, but it’s extremely expensive and it’s slow.
It’s faster to just cast a firearm and assemble it than to 3D print it. 3D printing is slow, and I know it because I myself own a 3D printer.
What do you know, when a company isn't focused on infinite profit, and instead actually helping people, amazing things get done.
Cool
Every single company needs profit. Profit is the reason that sparks innovation. She's trying to sell it to the masses by making it affordable not non-profitable.
Matthew Van Loon He didn't say they wouldnt get any profit, he just said they cut the product price to help the customer
TheTeddyChannel
They never cut price, they're using lower tier materials to make existing technology more accessible to the poor and middle class.
You cannot expect high end (new) technology to be immediately affordable for the mass market.
Also, he was talking about "infinite profit". probably not knowing how businesses work. You cannot start a business and ask for a high price, because nobody will (be able to) buy your products, thus you end up being bankrupt.
Matthew Van Loon they cut the price by using lower tier materials.
Respect for this people who help this kids

Honestly one of the most creative ideas ever. I bet I would've loved to buy one of those if I'm missing an arm.
I got a saw, need it?
I actually want to cut off my arm to get one of these xD
The funny thing is, artificial limbs will eventually be more powerful and useful than biological limbs. People will be paying for augmentation. There would also be attachments for different scenarios. Want to rock climb? Here's climbing pick hands. Want to perform a surgery with steady hands? That would also probably be a thing.
Won't be long before it will be legs, no reason why this type of tech couldn't be used to make an enhancement suit using 3d printed parts.
Exo suit.
Then the money made from people just wanting these things willing to pay, that money could go into the NHS to help pay towards to the cost for those who need them.
The more people have them the more advances are made.
EdgeBlade KnifeSword That's so true, I hope it to be prohibited, and companies to be conscious about it, and just leave it as it is, a replacement for biological limbs for people that need it, no mods, no gadgets, etc. Instead of that, invest the money to improve it and make it more real.
Kudos to Disney too for not charging them.
Michael Priest not really : amputees are a minority. As for me, I've been interested in cybernetic limbs for years and it's the first I'm hearing of it. And I'm already a Disney fanboy. I think the market is simply too small and someone at Disney felt it was good for their karma.
Jean Roch No it's definitely a marketing campaign. It doesn't matter what the size of the amputee market is, other people who don't have missing limbs who see that Disney is doing this will still feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and Disney still benefits from that. But just because Disney's primary motivation is advertising doesn't mean that the people who greenlit this idea don't want to help amputees - in fact, I am sure that they are genuinely happy to help, because why wouldn't they be. The two motivations are not mutually exclusive.
EpicBradley129 I’m sure they do want a good reputation, but I’m also sure there are compassionate people as well at Disney.
People are so gullible. Of course, this is all Disney marketing. The people creating these prosthetics did great, Disney is simply capitalizing on it. This isn't the company of Walt Disney anymore, it is a ruthless multi-billion dollar corporation. If you don't know how ruthless of a company they are, they you don't know the Disney Corporation.
@@stickman1742 Have your read about Walt Disney? The idea that Disney ever something different than a corporation is the mind boggling thing here. Walt Disney could be a right nasty bastard.
People however should stop expecting other people to be Buddha before admitting something they did was nice. So what, if they did it for PR? Otherwise they would have the legal right to prevent Disney copyrighted brands to be used here.
I like when they use technology to help people🙂☺😉
dont they already do that for donation?
aimesry hisery not alone .😀
Too bad we put most of our tax money on technology to kill....
The next huge milestone will be installing sensors so you can actually *feel* what you are touching with your hands.
Steven Lewis that’s actually a great idea and I hope someone makes that a reality
They already have that
th-cam.com/video/F_brnKz_2tI/w-d-xo.html
EdgeBlade KnifeSword incredible. Thanks for sharing. But I noticed that it can still be improved. There’s a long way to go before this technology is finished. That was truly amazing
We already have that tech dum dum
Steven Lewis technology is never finished. It's 2018 and we're still making new types of doors.
4 words: Fullmetal. Alchemist. Style. Prosthetics.
Jack Rollin Deus. Ex. HR.
One more terminator is near
Wicked
people deserve those
I'd rather have one that is literally a Swiss knife but more "handy" hehe gei it because it's my hand... Hehe... Eee yea it's awful
FUCKEN AWESOME!!!!!!!!! FINALLY we have made steps forward instead of the primitive captain hook solution ..... Time to invest hehe
I think in this case, it would be a donation
Agreed. Maybe pull some strings in that patent office too.
How could someone dislike such a video showing good work
The happiness on those kids faces is enough for this to be a fantastic thing. Excellent.
Amazing idea from amazing people. Making this technology eventually available to the masses is just oustanding. My compliment to the founders of open bionics, truly remarkable people.
You are amazing, your company is amazing, and Disney doing royalty free is amazing! 🤩
Your making a positive difference in the world and that’s incredible ❤️
When I was a kid watching Star Wars, and having my trusty white 286 in the corner I didn't think I would live in the future. But as is inevitable...the future is here.
I love how aesthetically pleasing these pieces are.
Wow... just wow ... affordable and high quality .. People who really need one can have one..
This is the 3D printer being used to change lives.
It will grow really fast
they should make a fullmetall alchemist arm like ed has
Shewit Gabriel hope they don't create any homunculus
Yeeeeees!
Literally the first thing that came to my mind XD
Shewit Gabriel lol
Remicreeps♥ same
Faith in Humanity Restored...
I'm amazed at the quality of the arms. The look on the kids faces when they try them out for the first time. Priceless. Can't wait for the future technics and see what they come up with. Kept at it. 👌👍
This is SO important for people with limited means. AND for them to be usable and not some over bearing, heavy claw like alot of people have had to deal with. Right on!
"DsX"
It's Deus Ex. The least you could've done is Google it or something.
Still an awesome arm, though.
ericbazinga same thing I thought
ericbazinga i never asked for this
I love that they heard D.S.X. and decided that it should, probably, be written as "DsX"... Like SOME effort was put in, just not enough to find out what she actually said.
Louard Yeah. To be honest, "DsX" does sound like a cool name for somwthing
Um, the one that looks like Adam Jensen's arm is EXACTLY like it so I'm pretty sure they're overly familiar with how it's spelled.
3rd 😇. Pd.: Love all your videos I'm a very curious person and this channel is perfect for me, keep up the good work 💞
This is great! A kid missing his hand would (sadly) normally be bullied, but a kid with an Iron Man arm would be the coolest kid in school! This is a great idea all around.
Thank u open bionics because realize my dream to help someone who disable n dont have a limb..thank u so much..u all make my dream come true..
This is amazing...
Really looking forward on further advancements of these things
Being a hand amputee myself, I really can't wait 'till these come out to the public. I'm so excited to see what the future holds in store for prosthetic devices
This is a company that people all around the world should be inspired by. Heros that may never realize how they really or heros to some of us. Smiling faces better quality of life an hopefully many happy stories for others to hear. I absolutely love people an companies like this.
Realistically shouldn't all prosthetic arms come with a built in flash light? Think about it
Bustin Feelsgood and a USB charger for your phone!
and when we get the touch sensors in them you can feel the USB charger going into it!
Yeah!
Or at least a flesh light.
And a shotgun
In the future someone may pretend to accidentally cut their arm in order to have a bionic super arm, mark my words
Крутые ребята!!! Спасибо огромное за помощь людям с ограниченными возможностями, вы даёте им второй шанс обрести полноценную жизнь.
Marvelous. Science and compassion. This is the true North Star of human intelligence. Oh, what a wonderful world we could have. God bless this wonderful endeavor.
Woah!! Its auto-mail guys!!!
they should do an edward style prostetic/auto-mail
Shewit Gabriel Nah! They should do the cannon prosthetic arm of Guts the Black Swordsman, the most badass character to come out of Japan: th-cam.com/video/11hauEzyQC8/w-d-xo.html
Shewit Gabriel yesssss
It costs about a $1000 right? I mean it's still alot of money but most boinic limbs currently cost 30k. 1k for an *arm* seems pretty legit.
It's nothing if you have a good job instead of poor one.
People build expensive PC's like it's nothing and guess why? Just for gaming.
No proper job to earn from PC, such as 3D animations and making games.
Smart person invest hard money on quality that'll improve his/her life for family and self, not for stupidity.
I think some of them sell for only a couple hundred dollars. Not certain about that though, I am not in need of one to be researching it that much. They are super cool though! In love with the idea of being able to design it to look like your favourite characters arm! I would personally go for the Deus Ex one if I needed, or some other bionic character from a video game.
Wow I'm Soo proud of you guys...I'm speechless it actually makes me tear up knowing how far we humans have come and to see the faces on them kids and adults is priceless
Amazing work here. I also saw a company in the US called "Unlimited Tomorrow" doing almost the same thing. Scanning and 3D printing bionic arms with a focus on better quality at a lower cost for children. Only they focused on making the bionic match the skin tone of the user. These seem to be more advanced though, with the users doing more complex things with them. I have to admit if I ever lost an arm I would want the Star Wars style I saw here.
“I never asked for this.”
dues ex !!!
Or as the captions said, "DsX" ...
JaundiceJoe lol
im pretty sure a lot of them did tho. :P
We need full metal and Alita battle angel arms
Feckin Awesome!. I bet everyone involved is super proud. Impossible not to feel that way with those kids around!. I wish I could be involved in this project.
I love this.... bring back the power to the people. Open sourcing is humanities saviour. Thank you for adopting open source!!!
Need a bionic arm like Detective Spooner from *I, Robot* so I can punch a homicidal robot and defend myself.
I can see Disney slamming their copyright hammer on this company should it become profitable -_-
They won't. Ever. This benefits them much more reinforcing their brand image. How many limbless children do you think are out there to even remotely made this profitable enough to intrigue a company the size of Disney?
The video mentions they have a royalty-free arrangement with Disney, so...
M A C hooray for Disney :))
you saying Disney, is gonna crack down on a company helping crippled kids get their arms back?
look disney can be jerks sure, but this would be killing poppies leve evil, that would be the dumbest thing Disney could ever do, and they would probably end up losing to.
Darth Maal But would have the legal right to do so. If anybody wants to use Disney characters are on their products, then they need to ask first. Let me put it this way... What if somebody wanted to use one of your creations on their products? Good intention OR bad intention if they don't ask, then it's stealing.
Beautiful! Thank you for making this affordable to any one who needs it. God bless you keep up the great work! The smiles on their faces speak for them selves.
Thank you for helping all these people, truly appreciate your work.👍❣️
0:49 she says DEMOCRATIZE here, not "De-Marketize".
Actually demarketizing would be crap. good luck on funding meds' researches, nerve-controlled artificial limbs, eye prosthetics etc. on Kickstarter :) "6 months to gather just 10 000 000$! We can did it!"
Actually she didn't say demarketize
"DsX" lol, good job subtitles....it's "Deus Ex" ;)
Absolutely amazing work you guys are doing, bringing help to those less off than others but it must be so emotional to see your child fitted with a fully functional arm and hand again so the can live there childhood.
Thank you guys for this. I can really appreciate the work you guys are doing and freedom and joy you are giving to these kidz and adults. SUPER COOL.
That Girl 😘 though 😍😍🙌👆💗
Brock Lesnar I would totally take a handy from her bionic arm.
Kylo Ren: "What girl?"
It's Grace Mandeville. She has a TH-cam channel called Mandeville Sisters. You're welcome.
Who is she?
Who else came to watch this video because of the beautiful girl in the thumbnail?🤔
I wish I could say I didn't...but yeah...I did.
Do you know her name?
Lol me too
I came to youtube looking for information on the electrical components of required to make a 3d printed arm. I currently have 10 3d printers and thought I would try to make a functioning prosthetic arm. Can you give me any information on the electrical components needed. Second question is will you marry me? What a positive impact you will have on people. This is truly incredible and I wish you best.
A standing ovation to these smart people who have their focus so selfless for these people.
I figure, what the heck, and I slice off the rest of my arm with a particle saw. And my dad's all like, "Uhh! Ohh! Uhh!" And blood's like, going everywhere. But a few hours and a few pints of blood later, I built a metal arm strong enough to smash concrete!
why not cut both off, and the you head to.
wouldn't it be cool with a 3D printed robot head? just giving ideas her. ^^
ScionStorm no he was playing with his 3rd leg
PinguOurLordAndSaviour was it a prosthetic third leg?
Borderlands 2?
Great,
Now I want to cut off my arm..
U not deserve to get that thing
That is the dumbest comment I have seen in a while....
DoubleJayPotato but made me laugh 😅😅
Alittlebig Ray lol same
You should be thankful to God that your physique extremities are intact. Think before you speak. #Sorry
Great use of resources and technology. It's wonderful to hear that children's needs are being addressed. Kudos!
Thanks for sharing. Blessings
I absolutely LOVE the arrangement with Disney and the cool science fiction limbs. It allows people with prosthetics to feel proud and get good attention about their limb. So awesome.
I don't want my real arm anymore......😂
ThatShyGuyis ME XD
Please, be careful about what you say
There hands seem a bit slow I'm gonna wait for bionics to be crazy fast like being able to independently flail my fingers before I decide.
I guess u should keep your real arm because we made machine we should rule machine not the opposite.
You're joking, but within this century bionic limbs will advance so much that they will eventually outclass biological limbs in every way, and people will in fact start cutting off their arms to receive a bionic one.
Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm. Full metal alchemist arm..... no Full metal alchemist arm... disappointed 😔
Wow u people are really awesome and this is such an achievement. Thank you and all Ur team mates for working on these and making these.
This is what the world needs! People who don't just aspire to make a living but who also aspire to make a DIFFERENCE!
Now i want to cut my arm and become a cyborg
Technically old people with pacemakers in them are cyborgs.
Try bringing someone to life, works everytime can confirm
I'm going to purposely cut my arm off to purchase one
You can probably buy one without needing a prosthetic. Just say it's for robotics experiments if they ask.
1:31 look at that happy little chap
Please let Open Bionics be the new Amazon this is truly globally needed🙏
It won’t be open bionics but when the company arises from the ashes youll know immediately, free clean green energy and water, sustainable homes and electric cars charged off the sun, and cybernetics intertwined with ai to begin creating designs the world’s never seen, money isn’t needed eventually for an advanced society....
Thank goodness for the UK.
I’m thrilled to see Disney went royalty free for this project, kudos
This is the kind of technology that humanity needs. I really like this video.
Amazing, a nice work for the sake of humanity and its brilliant future. Glad to see those kids smiling. Personalized prosthetics, awesome idea.
Incredible work! Keep it up, love to see future development
They look pretty cool ill Glady give all my money to this organization for offering this to the lower class
Honestly one of the most creative ideas ever to help people and especially Children
Absolutely outstanding work!!! Congratulations
This is awesome.
Now make the movement faster. Keep up the great work open bionics
Grace Mandeville's prosthetic arm looks incredible and looks so light weight. I hope I can start helping others with this incredible technology. Now to dial in my printer and learn to air brush
This is awesome glad somebody is doing this, I had an idea like this years ago when I saw terminator, way before 3D printing. Really simple idea of letting people have designer prosthesis because who wants a clunky arm/leg/whatever, when they could have terminator skeleton arm or streamlined contemporary look. Wanted people to have something that was wholly theirs, that they could design themselves to an extent and I'd build it for them. Wasn't practical back then but maybe now there's hope for it with new advances.
im pretty sure i saw these guys somewhere. they are doing really cool stuff and im so happy its at this price. they are amazing
Замечательная работа, превосходный результат!
This is fantastic :) Making advanced technology accessible to those in desperate need of it is where most development should be happening!
Amazing work, the world needs more innovation like this.
Some people are angels, while others are ambitious and want to control all the money and the world, blessings to her and her company making such a great difference and providing help for all those that need it.
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable... but will the outcome always be good? I guess that will depend on how we approach it. These past few months, I was challenged many times, but more often than not, didn't I try to keep morality in mind, knowing that my actions didn't have to harm others? Time and time again, didn't I resist the urge to abuse power and resources simply to achieve my goals more swiftly? In the past, we've had to compensate for weaknesses, finding quick solutions that only benefit a few. But what if we never need to feel weak or morally conflicted again? What if the path Sarif wants us to take enables us to hold on to higher values with more stability? One thing is obvious. For the first time in history, we have a chance to steal fire from the gods. To turn away from it now - to stop pursing a future in which technology and biology combine, leading to the promise of a Singularity - would mean to deny the very essence of who we are. No doubt the road to get there will be bumpy, hurting some people along the way. But won't achieving the dream be worth it? We can become the gods we've always been striving to be. We might as well get good at it.
- Deus Ex Human Revolution
Its wonderful what you guys do. May God bless you guys in all the good work that you do.
This is amazing.Its so amazing how fast we are advancing in science!
Asome job those guys did,really cool!
God bless!
It’s a gods work that you people have been doing, good job guys
Спасибо Тем Людям Всем Кто Работает в Команде и Создаёт Такие Необходимые изобретения .
This is fucking awesome work! So happy to see science and technology change people's lives for the better!
Well done Open Bionics and great that its a British company too! Lets get more companies like this !
Great Work. There're still people with good heart in this world that use money for unselfish reasons.
Excellent. Best of luck with this project!
Who can dislike it? I'm loving it guys! I bid you great success!
Great work I appreciate it millions of people out there who need arms legs at affordable prize n with amazing abilities
I love this! So amazing and inspiring.
It's an awesome invention...I am very thankful to the inventor to show such a generosity...😄
By the way the title spells prosthesis wrongly... lol
Yeeees! This is the coolest thing I have seen in awhile.
Its so fantastic! Lovely!
Three years on where are they now ? An update would be awesome.
Wonderful! Just wonderful!!
This is so cool. I wish I had the tech skills to make something like that.
Awesome, they actually work and look really cool, technology really is moving forward.
Its so amazing that they make this!
I loved the video. It's fantastic to see what technology is doing here. And I also love the royalty free collaboration with Disney. Thank you.
