3D Printed Devices Added to ATS

Welcome to the ATS website. We are very excited about the progress of the website and the growth of our community.

Most recently, we have started to add instructions for creating devices using 3D printing. Three D printing is beginning to fulfill its promise of making devices readily and easily available. The technology is being used in many diverse applications and environments. NASA is working towards a 3D printed rocket launch engine while research is being conducted to print organs and tissues.

Enabling The Future (http://enablingthefuture.org/) is making 3D printed prosthetic hands available to people worldwide.

If you have an idea or an assistive technology device that you’ve created using 3D printer technology, why not share it on the ATS website.

The limited size of the market often creates a significant barrier to the commercialization and availability of assistive technology devices. (Read more)
