Hello bloggers,
Chuck Hull is a person who changed the world. He invented the worlds first 3D printer. So if you don't know what a 3D printer is here is a short explanation. Basicially it is a printer, but prints things out in 3D. Which is short for the third demension. They are usually printed out in plastic. Since this has happened it has dramaticially changed the way we build. Lots of people have broken their arms. Well, around the base of 3D printing a man named Jake Evill has invented a 3D printed plaster for broken arms. It is unbelivable. I watched a video abut artificial body parts. So now I will share thigs that suprised me and a thing that I learned.
So I learned that normal things like robotic arms cost thousands of dollars. If that wasn't enough, they usually wore them out in a few months. There is a company that uses simple princibles to make artificial arms. They charge about 70-100 dollars each one. Compared to robotic ones they are much much better. One thing that suprised me was that they wer waterproof. I would think that these types of things would not be suitable for water. The video explained that because they don't use anything like batteries.
I hope you enjoyed my blog post. If you have any feedback please leave it in the comments. Would you want to have one of these amazing hands? BYE!!
Talofa Vitaraag,
ReplyDeleteThanks for completing week three, day three, activity two. I found this activity really interesting! Did you? Thanks for sharing what you learnt. It’s such a shame that this technology is so expensive, but it’s pretty awesome that this company has made it more financially accessible. I wasn’t sure if they were waterproof either, so that was definitely interesting to learn. I have a friend who uses a prosthetic arm and it has been life-changing for her.
We have created an outstanding post blog for all the clusters, check it out here: https://sites.google.com/site/summerlearningjourney/participation-and-prizes/outstanding-blog-posts your posts may have made it on!!!

You have done such an amazing job completing these activities, I really enjoyed reading your reflection on the activity.
ReplyDeleteHi Vitaraag,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you explained what you needed to do for this activity, who Chuck Hull is and what you think about prosthetic limbs being 3D printed with lots of detail. I also liked how you said that the 3D printed prosthetics are a lot better than the robotic ones because they don't use batteries, and they're a lot cheaper. Would you want a 3D printed prosthetic?
