3D Universe's e-NABLE Prosthetics

About

3D Universe's involvement with e-NABLE prosthetics highlights a collaborative effort to create and distribute 3D-printed prosthetic devices globally. The e-NABLE community, established in 2013, consists of thousands of volunteers dedicated to designing and manufacturing upper limb assistive devices. These prosthetics are designed to be affordable, lightweight, and adaptable, providing essential assistance to individuals in need, particularly children and adults who have lost limbs due to various circumstances. Through their support, 3D Universe contributes to the e-NABLE mission by offering specialized materials like PETG in various skin tones, enhancing the aesthetic and functional appeal of the prosthetics. The community's open-source designs allow for customization and continuous improvement, ensuring that the devices meet diverse needs. With chapters across the globe, e-NABLE's impact extends beyond prosthetics, including the creation of assistive tools and PPE during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. This collective effort underscores the potential of 3D printing technology to improve lives worldwide.
