Robohand has been hard at work at House4Hack over the weekend and their aim is to produce an inexpensive 3d printable prosthetic leg: roboleg

Yesterday saw the arrival of a monster sized CNC at House4Hack
The machine is part of a venture being incubated by Marcus, Dries and William. Dries was responsible for building the machine and the group are planning to explore a variety of products and services using this very impressive piece of hardware.
The machine is fitted with a router and can be applied to wood and most plastics. The table is about the size of a table tennis table and can easily be applied to a full sized door!
One of the reasons for incubating at House4Hack is the potential for cross-pollination between mechanical, electronics and software – the collaborative intelligence that are possible are mind-blowing, think UAV’s, Solar Cars etc, etc.
Currently the plan is to have demonstration of the machine coming Tuesday evening.
