Upper limb prostheses face acceptance challenges due to factors such as discomfort, limited functionality, high weight, and elevated costs. Despite the availability of advanced models with sophisticated technologies, their accessibility remains individuals greater financial means. This study presents development a parametric hand prosthesis designed for total or partial amputations, utilizing additive manufacturing affordable hypoallergenic materials. The parametrization was based on customized anthropometric geometries, modeled using CAD software, structural validation conducted through finite element analysis under static forces. printing material characterized according ASTM D638 standards. results indicate that provides personalized, functional, accessible solution meets specific needs users. It is concluded use design not only reduces costs improves but also enables creation devices tailored individual user characteristics, promoting functionality quality life.
