Here's a link to an article posted on April 20, 2014. 53 year old Jose Delgado Jr, has been using a prosthetic hand for over a year that costs $42,000 dollars. Many people argue that the reason that these prosthetics are so expensive is because of how much more advanced and more comfortable they are for the amputee, so Jeremy Simon of 3D Universe wanted to meet with Jose to compare the $42k hand with his $50 3D printed hand. After Jose had met with Jeremy, he said that the 3D printed hand had better functionality and that he preferred it to his current myoelectric hand.
