Recently, Dani Clode, a student at the Royal College of Art in London, has developed a new type of 3D printing finger. If successful, the future of surgical repair will be bright.

Dani Clode graduated from the Royal College of Art in London and recently successfully designed a 3D printing finger Third Thumb. The significance of the invention is to transform the prosthetic into an extension of the human body, thereby increasing the function of the limb for more complex operations.

Clode said that the word prosthesis is "added, added", and Third Thumb is also inspired by the word, intended to increase human function and redefine surgical prosthetics. Traditionally, prosthetic limbs have only been used to replace residual limbs, helping disabled people to take care of themselves. The advent of this new technology will challenge the surgical prosthetics' understanding of prosthetic limbs and enrich the scope of use of prosthetic limbs. For example, complete more complex guitar chords, perform rigorous jewelry design, or help tattooists operate tattoos.

The print finger uses a cable system that pulls the thumb toward the rest of the fingers. In terms of handling, Third Thumb is mainly controlled by the pressure sensor of the sole. The operation is not complicated. Driving, sewing and playing the piano are all used together. There are three hinge positions on the mechanical finger. The two motors control the movement in all directions. The outer casing is made of hard resin. Finally, the Bluetooth receiver is fixed and put on the wrist to be used.

Human fingers are extremely flexible, and to achieve the desired results, Third Thump needs to continue to work hard, taking into account the flexibility of the action. Although the device is not available today, it is just beginning to model, but the designer, Clode, still won the Helen Hamlyn Award and has a prize of £2,000 (about 17,000 RMB) for subsequent research and development. The jury of the award said that Third Thump is a practical invention that helps to expand the body and improve the quality of life. (Internship Compilation: Sun Ruoxi's Review: Li Zongze)
