If it still looks like a stick it\u2019s not satisfying,\u201d Bender said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> UNYQ offers a blend of stylish models with a unique appearance and contours. With a handful of measurements and four photos of a customer\u2019s existing limb, UNYQ can 3D-print a prosthetic that mirrors the remaining limb with 98 percent accuracy, according to Bender.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/unyq.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/unyq.jpeg\" alt=\"unyq\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/unyq.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/unyq-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/unyq-350x525.jpeg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is all very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>However, let us not forget about the overall landscape of prosthetic socket design and, more importantly, prosthetic design [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/?p=3025\">link<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=swisswuff\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-size=\"large\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Californian charge towards anything a 3D printer can print now caused UNYQ to open.
