The Onwards Medical Breakthrough

Today’s very cool medical onwards breakthrough is a low-cost 3D printed hand that is helping a man named Jose Delgado, with his daily needs. Jose was born without most of his left. A company named 3D Universe has given Jose a $50 3D prosthetic hand which Jose says is much better than his $24K myoelectric prosthesis. Definitely an amazing Breakthrough!
