John and I had a very elaborate process throughout this whole experience of making this prosthetic hand. We first made a Gladiator Thumb and wanted to add on to the idea that we already had. After making our Gladiator Thumb, John and I began to brainstorm possibilities that involved a swiss army hand. Some of the ideas included Swiss Army Tools, Utensils used, and Eating Utensils. In the end, we decided to make Swiss Army Utenils used for eating. After agreeing on Swiss Army Utensils, we took a while to make our prototype and had to go through many drafts before making an all-around succesful prototype which we printed from the Laser Printer and printed the rest of the project with the 3D Printer. After having all the pieces, we put them together and created the Swiss Army Utensils!

The Swiss Army Utensil is a prosthetic hand which allows users to use basic kitchen utensils. The prosthetic is designed for those who don't have fingers and have trouble using a fork, spoon, or knife. With the utensil attached to a prosthetic hand piece on a joint, the hand peice can move up and down with ease which allows the utensil attached to the hand piece by string to move forward and retract back into its original resting place.
