Man makes 3D prosthetic fingers for amputees

Yang Decai from Northeast China got interested in 3D printing in June. He came up with an idea to make 3D printed prosthetic fingers to help amputees regain the use of their hands. The prosthesis can simulate the motion of a finger, allowing amputees to grasp objects. So far, he has helped five people with the prosthetic fingers. A video posted by the Ziniu News on Sina Weibo showed a man, 28, from Guangdong province, clicking a mouse with his mechanical finger made by Yang. He told the Ziniu News that he lost the first two segments of his right index finger four years ago, and thanks to his "magic finger," he can once again grab things.
