A Wearable Mechanical Exoskeleton That Restores Hand Function
Alex, a freelance designer from the Czech Republic, contacted us through Shandi Technology's official website seeking technical help. He had designed a mechanical exoskeleton hand but ran into a very difficult problem: the fingers. To make the mechanical hand the size of a normal hand — while both armoring it and fitting mechanical moving parts — the distance between fingers was too small, and the hand's bones were very short. Whether hydraulic or electric, driving the movement of a single finger takes up a lot of space, and the flexibility of all five fingers must also be ensured.
Solution: Shandi's simulation technology helped Alex verify the connection of the mechanical exoskeleton hand and simulate the materials and processes needed for production. Using 3D printing technology, the amazing mechanical exoskeleton hand made a successful debut, moving freely once worn. With this mechanical hand, opening a bottle cap becomes effortless in daily life, and in medicine it can assist the rehabilitation of patients with hand injuries — a wide range of applications.
