3D-printed hand tested on young amputee

Xiaocheng, 6, whose left hand was partially amputated after a car accident when he was 4, grabs a box of yoghurt with a 3D-printed prosthetic hand, at a hospital in Wuhan, China on Friday, May 29. The prosthetic hand, which took seven hours to make, was given by the hospital to Xiaocheng for free. After a few tests, he was able to grab light objects with the new device.
