With the development of 3D printing, there are attempts to create a hand prosthesis based on this technology. The key to the solutions being developed is to adapt to the needs of users through parameterization and personalization.
The combination of 3D printing, electronics, open source solutions, creative coding and algorithmic design, based on User Centered Design methods, is clearing a path for new solutions. They allow you to provide for individual needs, such as those related to daily tasks, sports or hobbies; which can become part of, or most of the entire expression.
The project myhand aims at developing a system of printed 3D parametric prostheses which combine the some of the features of what’s available in the market today with the very unusual needs of their users, with the additional goal of being affordable.
Our team – Dorota Kabała, Michał Piasecki, Monika Brauntsch, Wiesław Bartkowski, Dorota Cetnarska and Malwina Mrówczyńska – combines experience and background in design, parametric modelling, creative coding, business development and social science!

January 2018
The first ideas about the projectmyhand is to be presented at ISPO fair between 28th – 31st Jan 2018 in Munich at IDEAS stand – B2-UE-02! Please join us to find out more about myhand!
June 2018
While we are preparing for Gdynia Design days we are happy to invite you to OutDoor trade fair 17th – 20th June 2018, Friedrischahafen, where together with IDEAS we will be presenting the sport portfolio of ‘We design for physical culture’, as well as the next stage of myhand project! Dorota Kabała from The Spirit of Poland and ‘We design for physical culture’ will also give a lecture on “Wearable technology expands human prospective and capability” together with Mirella Becucci and Eugen Weiss.
July 2018
We are pleased to invite you to join us between 7-15th July 2018 at Gdynia Design Days!
The exhibition presents the project myhand, aimed at developing a system of printed 3D parametric prostheses which combine the some of the features of what’s available in the market today with the very unusual needs of their users. As part of the exhibition, we will also present specific problems and solutions in the field of prosthetics.
