II) How we made it ?
Then, we made a little sketch of what we wanted to create for Diego, as you can see we directly got the idea of putting the fork on the palm of the hand. Instead of using a system where the fork would be used in the same axis of the fingers of the hand as is done for people without hand problems Akshay imagined a system where the fork can be placed perpendicular to the palm of the hand. So, as you can imagine, our project can be used for people with disabilities of the left and the right hand. To make this project, we used PLA (Polylactic Acid), that is an ecofriendly choice for making our project, PLA offers a good balance of strength and stiffness for everyday objects.
