The RIT Arm 2.0
The original RIT Arm design (pictured) was created when the idea of leveraging 3D-technologies for prosthetic applications was very new. While a good start, the design needed updating to make it stronger, more useful and safe for patients, and contextually-appropriate for those we most hope to serve in low-resource regions, disaster areas, and conflict zones. Stay tuned to check out our latest design for the RIT Arm 2.0 -- Summer 2018!

The RIT Real Arm Project
​
​
​
Students and professors are working on a prosthetic model which closely resembles (both anatomically & functionally) a human arm. It is a cross-disciplinary research project that involves researchers from Mechanical Engineering, Medical Illustration, Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical Sciences, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Design. It integrates studies on bone, muscle, skin, adipose & connective tissue, and the nervous system. It leverages 3D-technologies in its creation.
