Open Bionics, the Bristol-based company that makes bionic arms for amputees, raised $4.6m in January in a Series-A round led by the investment arm of Formula One’s Williams Advanced Engineering group. Open Bionics makes lightweight, 3D-printed arms and has gained attention for making superhero-themed prostheses based on Star Wars, Disney and Marvel characters. The arms, which are operated through a series of small controls in the socket, are the only ones affordable enough to be covered by the UK’s National Health Service.
