Workflows for 3D-printing assistive devices

What is it about?

This article is about 3D-printing assistive devices. It discusses three workflows that were developed in different European research projects. These workflows allow occupational therapists to follow a set of straightforward steps with their clients (potentially collaborating with technicians) to design and produce custom-made assistive devices.

Why is it important?

3D printing is a technique that offers tremendous opportunities for creating custom-made assistive devices for individuals with disabilities. This paper offers guidance to occupational therapists (and other healthcare professionals) to design and produce 3D-printed assistive devices, which is not yet a common skill taught in healthcare education.
