Field notes
The browser customizer offers left/right hand selection, color themes, part-by-part painting, and options to copy a design link or save an image. Tactus says each hand starts from an individual CAD model and can be tuned for grip, tension, and wearer strength; the page also lists foam lining and silicone fingertips. The team identifies three members and credits several e-NABLE designs, including their individual reuse licenses.
