With the support of donations from people who believe in their shared vision, the possibility of their larger dream becoming a reality grew stronger each day. With the continued support of their families, friends and the global community, these two men from opposite sides of the planet were able to shake hands in person and embark on the next stage of this incredible journey.
During the refinement of the Robofinger, we were donated two Makerbot Replicator 2 3D printers to use for prototyping and manufacturing of small parts. With these two printers in our possession our focus shifted for a while to develop what is referred to as the “ABS” hand (Robohand). Our revolutionists Richard and Ivan developed a mechanical hand for children. A first in the world. We have helped three children in South Africa and one in the United States with these hands.
