MAKING A DIFFERENCE

ONE HAND AT A TIME

I'D LIKE TO HELP
Our goal
We are motivated by bringing new opportunities and creating smiles among those who need them. We seek to improve the quality of life with a helping hand.

We take on the challenge of helping to create new opportunities for those who need them. With the use of 3D printing technology, we manufacture adaptive prostheses. Inch by inch we print, refine, assemble and give one hand at a time.

We aim to help

Mission

Vision

Values

To bring free help for the people who are in need of a prothesis, manufactured with quality and the right materials, creating a better quality of life in the community and eventually in the country.

To be identified as leaders in quality prostheses manufacturing, as well as in promoting empathy and compassion in our society.

Service: We wish to help whoever's in need by putting attention to the necessities of the other people, and helping to fulfill them with joy; creating a thankful and collaborative atmosphere. 

Respect: By feeling esteem or appreciation and recognition of the other people.

Empathy: We comprehend the feelings and emotions, by trying to objectively and rationally feel another person's feelings. 

Responsibility: Being aware of our duty of fulfilling obligations, being careful when making decisions or carrying out an action, while being able to commit and behave correctly.

Sensitivity: We are sensitive to the feelings of other people. This allows us to help while being compassionate and having empathy, understanding the pain of others. Understanding looks and gestures beyond words when something is needed.

Projects under development

Adaptive prostheses

Creating models that expand the capacity in the labor field of people with disabilities, for example, in the field of computing, creating prostheses that function as a mouse, connecting via "BT", allowing young people and professionals to perform tasks that feel more natural.

Environmental impact

Creating and improving machine prototypes to recycle "PET", and use the recycled material for the elaboration of prosthesis while helping the environment.

Supporting local education

Agreements were established allowing students from local high schools in the areas of communication and electronics to carry out their professional internships, helping with hand manufacturing while learning how to use 3D printing technology.

Inclusion

We also look for people with different abilities to help in our in-house manufacturing processes, giving them a sense of purpose and helping others, teaching them that we can always seek to help more people.

Our support
With the help of 3D technology, we manufacture adaptive prostheses. Inch by inch we print, refine, assemble and give one hand at a time.

What are 3D prosthesis?

3D prostheses are functional prostheses of different parts of the body that have been developed with open-source 3D printing technology.

What is the manufacturing process of the prosthesis?

We use a 3D printer and a special plastic called PLA, and in the middle it has another material called TPU which is very flexible and light, this process takes from three to four days considering printing and assembly of parts to form the hand and forearm.

How does it work?

The prosthesis has flexibility, so that children can use it. They can open and close their fingers and take some objects. At the moment, we handle two types of prosthesis and we are in the process of designing a hand that moves like a mouse and works via Bluetooth.

Why are 3D printed prostheses great for children?

3D printed prostheses are a cost-effective way to keep up with a child's growth or damage that can be received by simply being worn by a child.

GET A HAND

A prosthesis can improve someone's quality of life.

Which is why we accept the challenge to help create opportunities for those in need. If you or a loved one needs a little help, we’ll give it to you.
