Join McNeel Europe for an exclusive webinar on February 12, 2025, at 3pm GMT (4:00 PM CEST), featuring Guido Cherici, partner at Elastico Disegno. This session will explore the design process behind the MIA Hand, an award-winning robotic hand developed for amputees.
A New Approach to Prosthetic Design
The MIA Hand was created to be more than a functional prosthetic—it’s a design statement. It’s extremely customisable to fit the needs and preferences of the wearer.
The design process combined Rhino with Grasshopper and PTC Creo, focusing on Sub-D modelling to refine the hand’s organic shapes and details.
This webinar will cover:
- How Sub-D was used to shape the MIA Hand
- The role of Rhino and PTC Creo in product development
- How Grasshopper was used to create customisation options
