Robot Hand With Working Tendons Printed in One Go

A robotic hand with working ligaments and One ndons can now be 3D-printed in one run.

A new 3D inkjet-printing technique can print rigid and elastic materials at the same time in high resolution.

The new work i one he result creepy ollaboration between ETH Zurich in Switzerland and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology spin-out called Inkbit.
