Founded in 2,014 by Easton LaChapelle when he was just 18 years old, the company is poised to become a leader in the prosthetic arm industry. Their True Limb device costs less than $8,000 and it\u2019s even cheaper for children, priced at about $4,000.<\/p>\n<p>True Limb is both functional and realistic-looking, serving as a mirror image of the amputee\u2019s opposing limb, even down to the fingertips. And while the prosthetic arm is 60\u201390% cheaper than traditional prosthetics, many users say it\u2019s far superior to market alternatives. What\u2019s the secret? Unlimited Tomorrow uses a totally remote, custom process that cuts out middlemen to produce prosthetics completely in-house.<\/p>\n<p>For the 40-million worldwide amputees in need of prosthetic limbs, this remote, personalized, and affordable process for fitting prosthetics means hope for a better future.<\/p>\n<p>See the full article on bionic arms here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freethink.com\/series\/challengers\/prosthetic-arm.\">https:\/\/www.freethink.com\/series\/challengers\/prosthetic-arm.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2021\/08\/3d-printed-mind-controlled-prosthetics-are-here-challengers\">Continue reading \u201c3D printed, mind-controlled prosthetics are here | Challengers\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bionic arms used to cost $80,000.
