Building prosthetics that mimic movement of hands is tricky. We know how far our fingers need to move and where to position them to press a button with the right amount of force without thinking. Mathematical models were used to help calculate the forces and movement needed to mimic the motion of human fingers. Scientists can use this information to program the i-limb. Using this technology, prosthetics like the i-limb, help people all around the world.

Read the story of the i-limb here. Designers and makers use maths to create their designs. From the technical to the creative, maths and fashion go hand in hand. Fashion designers need to understand geometry to make their 2D drawings to fit our 3D bodies.
