Lunet
Lunet is a mechanical finger prosthesis designed to provide an accessible solution for restoring finger functionality. Produced entirely through 3D printing, Lunet can be manufactured quickly at a low cost and personalized in CMF to the user鈥檚 stylistic preferences. Through parametric modeling and a modular design, Lunet can be configured to perfectly fit any amputee鈥檚 anatomical dimensions. Lunet features a modular snap-together design requiring zero metal fasteners, no adhesives, nor any special tools to assemble. The fingers work by using a novel, robust linkage mechanism mimicking the motion and flexibility of real fingers.
By leveraging a unique mechanism, an easy-to-assemble and configurable modular design,
and the ever-growing accessibility of 3D printing, Lunet allows finger amputees to regain the functionality of their amputated fingers at
less than 1% of the cost of commercially available finger prostheses currently on
the market.
