Release date: 2016-11-28 As we have seen before, such as Open Bionics and e-NABLE, 3D printed prostheses have different meanings for children. In some remote areas, it is more difficult for people to get 3D printed prostheses. Recently, a Paraguayan company Po began to work hard in this area, hoping to provide customized 3D printed prosthetics for people in need. Po co-founder Eric Dijkhuis once said that due to the lack of work safety regulations, a large number of people in Paraguay were injured because of work, and even severely needed amputation. In Paraguay, people have relatively low incomes, meaning that many people do not get the restorative care they need after an injury, and less than 3% have access to the right prosthesis. At present, the first 3D printed prosthesis designed and produced by Po Company has been tested by more than 100 people in Paraguay. This 3D printed prosthesis has a relatively limited mechanical control system, and now Po is still working on 3D printed prosthetics that can be controlled with Myo devices . So, what exactly is Myo? By wearing it on the arm, the user can convert the muscle movement into a bioelectrical signal, which in turn is converted into different types of motion and wirelessly transmitted to other devices. This system was developed by Thalmic Labs and currently only allows for small movements, such as tilting the wrist to control its equipment. If it is applied to a 3D printed prosthesis , it can be grasped, gripped, etc. by some small movements. "MyPo's current development is still in its infancy, with just a few handles, but we will increase its freedom later and even integrate applications that already exist in Myo," explains Eric Dijkhuis. Subsequently, MyPo may also join social media and various interactive mobile computer applications. It is understood that Po's 3D printed prosthetic arm devices are open source, and 3D printed files can be easily obtained through the Thingiverse page. As part of its mission, Po, with the help of private donors and sponsors, brings this device to people in need in Paraguay. Users only need to pay the amount they can afford, and the rest is the responsibility of Po. In fact, these funds come mainly from donations from private, independent professionals, NGOs, allied companies and public organizations. “Our model is currently being carried out by Po's partners in Northern Argentina and South Brazil. Our entire workflow is open, so anyone can start their own work with standardized off-the-shelf procedures,†adds Eric Dijkhuis. .
