Dhaka, April 2 -- A team of engineering students at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg is developing a revolutionary, affordable, and feature-rich prosthetic hand.

The prosthetic, led by PhD candidate Abdul-Khaaliq Mohamed, utilizes 3D printing technology to keep production costs low. It aims for a price of $150, a significant improvement compared to commercially available options that can cost $10,000.

The prosthetic hand is controlled through muscle movements, allowing for neural control not typically seen in basic models.

The project has garnered support from the South African Amputee Club, which estimates there are over 2 million amputees in the country alone.

The students are hopeful that amputees can begin testing t...
