The FA3D hand is a 3D printed Hand printed with a flexible filament. The fingers of the hand have multiple joints, allowing for adaptive gripping. The fingers have elastic joints and can be printed as one part. Therefore assembly of the finger phalanxes is not necessary.
Due to its adaptive gripping, the FA3D Hand can hold a broad range of objects.
The FA3D Hand consists of 8 3D-printed parts. The parts can be connected with standard bolts and nuts. Steel cables are used to actuate the fingers.
The hand is body powered. It can be controlled by pulling the control cable, by using a shoulder strap.
