animator and mechanical designer, Pat Starace has designed and built an Iron Man themed hand for kids. 

According to Starace he wanted to: 

create a prosthetic hand that solves a mechanical problem and boosts a child’s self esteem to superheroic (but maybe not Tony Stark-ian) levels. “And mostly,” he says, it “looks awesome!”

This prothesis is 3D printed making it affordable for families. As you will see in the video below, it looks lightweight enough for any kid to use it but sturdy enough to go out and play. 

it opens and closes jut like a normal hand would, with some extra special effects to go along with it. 



What you guys think?!?, sound off on the usual place
