Low Cost - PROSTHETICS & ORTHOTICS - Design Resources - Open Source

·       The Open Prosthetics Project is producing useful innovations in the field of prosthetics and freely sharing the designs.



·       The Digital Resource Foundation for the O&P Community (DRFOP) is a non-profit organization with a mission to develop computer-based information resources and communication links for the worldwide orthotics, prosthetics and rehabilitation community – Kampala Uganda location

·       The aim of the Open Hand Project is to make robotic prosthetic hands more accessible to amputees.  Leading prosthetics can cost up to $100,000. By using emerging technologies like 3D printing, we can cut that down to under $1000. That’s two orders of magnitude cheaper, and means that these devices can reach a far broader audience!
