SUMMARY:3D Printing and Assembly of Low Cost Hand and Arm Prosthetics
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bob Reiger\n\ne-NABLE is a global network of thousands of home hobbyists who volunteer their time\, talent and resources to 3D print and assemble low-cost hand and arm prostheses for both children and adults.  With the cost of a professional state -of -the- art hand prosthetic approaching $75\,000\, the purely mechanical devices made and donated by e-NABLE volunteers fill a need where the cost\, complexity\, or lack of infrastructure do not permit more advanced\, expensive devices.\n\nFree for members; $5.00 for not-yet members.
