e-NABLE
Also known as: Enabling the Future
A global volunteer network founded in 2013 that uses 3D printing to produce free, customizable upper-limb prosthetic devices — primarily for children with limb differences who outgrow conventional prosthetics quickly. e-NABLE connects makers, designers, medical professionals, and recipients through an open-source design library and regional chapters, and it has produced thousands of hand and arm devices worldwide. In accessibility and HCI research, e-NABLE is frequently cited as a model of grassroots, community-driven assistive technology and an entry point into the broader DIY-AT movement.
