Revolutionizing Prosthetics with 3D Printing

Unlimited Tomorrow is at the forefront of prosthetic innovation, offering 3D-printed bionic arms that utilize muscle signals for movement. Founded by Easton LaChappelle in 2014, the company aims to make advanced prosthetics accessible and affordable, with prices under $8,000. Their flagship product, TrueLimb, is a testament to this mission, providing users with a personalized and functional prosthetic solution.

TrueLimb: A Personalized Prosthetic Experience

TrueLimb is designed to feel like a natural extension of the body. Each arm is custom-built using a remote 3D scanning system that captures the user’s limb shape, ensuring a precise fit. The prosthetic is lightweight, weighing between 1.0 to 1.5 pounds, and features a breathable, adjustable socket for all-day comfort. Users can fine-tune the fit with an integrated BOA dial.

Advanced Sensor Technology for Intuitive Control

The TrueSense technology embedded in TrueLimb includes over 30 sensors that detect muscle movements in the residual limb. These sensors provide accurate control by interpreting electrical activity from muscles, allowing the prosthetic to respond seamlessly to intended movements. This intuitive control system enhances user experience by making the prosthetic feel like a natural part of the body.

Versatile Functionality and Durability

TrueLimb offers six grip patterns and independent finger joints for versatile daily use. It can handle delicate tasks and provides feedback through gentle vibrations when making contact with objects. Made from durable PA12 nylon, the prosthetic is splash-resistant and capable of lifting up to 15 pounds. Its rubberized palm ensures a firm grip on various surfaces.

Remote Accessibility and Continuous Improvement

Unlimited Tomorrow’s remote approach allows users to receive their prosthetics quickly without in-person fittings. The device supports over-the-air software updates for ongoing performance enhancements. With a USB-C charger and long-lasting battery life, TrueLimb offers convenience and freedom from frequent recharges.
