UNC student creates prosthetic hand for youngster

Posted Nov 13, 2014
A 7-year-old from Chapel Hill now has a prosthetic hand that cost just $20 to make on a 3-D printer. "It makes it looks like I have two hands, just one is redder than the other – a lot more redder," Holden Mora said recently as he showed off a robotic-looking device that gives his left hand the grip it never had.
