Rishabh Java, a 14-year-old from the United Arab Emirates, won the "Best Innovation Project" award at the 1st Gulf of Mexico 3D Print Olympics. Java designed a 3D printed bionic arm that can be controlled with an electroencephalogram (EEG) monitor. The first Gulf 3D Print Olympic Games, co-hosted by 3D printing company Atlab and GEMS Wellington College in Dubai, attracted more than 75 teams from schools in the Gulf region, according to the theme of the competition – “Designing your first consumer product†Submit 3D printing innovations. Winners from the four age groups have the opportunity to win 3D printers and cash prizes: first prize of 10,000 dirhams (UAE currency, equivalent to $2,700), second prize of 5,000 dirhams, third prize 3,000 dirhams. Winners will also have the opportunity to attend the 2017 BETT show in the UK. This impressive 3D printing arm designed by Java can perform simple tasks, and through mental control, it can make actions such as shaking hands and picking up. Java said that he uses EEG technology to monitor the current pattern in the brain, allowing the 3D printed bionic arm device to be easily operated without manual control. Java designed this 3D printed bionic arm to help people with disabilities control their prosthetics more flexibly and easily. “I am very happy that I can win the prize.†Java said: “I intend to gradually add other functions to this 3D printing arm, such as equipped with sensors that allow the wrist and elbow to move, making it more user-friendly.†Obviously, consumer-grade EEG technology is still not perfect, but Abdul Salam, head of the Dubai municipal government department, said that Java should be given sincere encouragement and support, because a 14-year-old student can produce such a functional 3D printing product. And is committed to its subsequent development and promotion to the fields of engineering, science and medical care, has to say that it is worthy of reward. Overall, the first Gulf of Mexico 3D Print Olympics was a great success. The Gulf 3D Print Olympics is the first such event in the region to inspire young engineers to create more stunning 3D. Print the work,†said Atlas Director S Senthil Kugan. “We are very pleased that the teams participating in the competition are working hard to create products and are always working to extend 3D printing technology to a wider range of applications.†Opzs Series 2V100Ah Battery,Opzs Series Solar Power Battery,Lead-Acid Opzs Batteries,Opzs Solar Tubular Batteries Shaoxing Honyo International Trading Co., Ltd , https://www.honyopower.com
