Custom 3D-printed joints may restore full movement to disabled fingers

Good news! I blogged about this here two days ago, but in German language, because it was first published by the German Fraunhofer Institute!

3D printing keeps on giving! Amazing stuff!

Custom 3D-printed joints may restore full movement to disabled fingers We hear a lot about artificial hips and knees, but finger joints? They do exist, but their fit and functionality is limited. Germany's Fraunhofer research group aims to change that, with artificial finger joints that are custom 3D-printed for each patient.
