Printing Prosthetic Hands for Children

[Larry Lewis]

Our team would like to invite FIRST teams to get involved in the making of prosthetic hands for children in need by participating in the e-NABLE foundation’s efforts. e-NABLE is a network of volunteers that design and make prosthetic hands using 3D printers.

Any team that has a 3D printer can get involved. It is really simple to register your group, download some of the open source designs out there, and make hands for others.

How do you get involved?
Visit http://enablingthefuture.org/ to get more information on how to sign up for the project. They need people to help making parts and building hands.

Currently we are working towards a 1000 hand challenge to provide hands to various countries like China, Vietnam, Nepal, Haiti, and Ukraine.

If you have any questions for us on what it took to get involved, please contact us via our website at http://penfieldrobotics.com/contact.php
