As we enter the final 2 months of the 2024 Make:able 3D Printing and Assistive Technology Challenge, we are delighted to announce this year’s prize lineup.

How does 3D printing fit into the role of Occupational Therapy? We caught up with the amazing Paula de Santos Dorrego, who talks about her journey with 3D design and 3D printing.

PrintLab’s lead designer Rob is designing an assistive device for his neighbour Cath. Check out where he’s up to in his design journey.

Today we’re delighted to release the open-source files and documentation for our 3D printed assistive writing/drawing device – DRAG.

Learn how to incorporate connections and movement in your 3D prints using this growing library of Tinkercad and Fusion 360 mechanism tutorials.

We recently selected a submission to our Make:able Challenge and optimised it for the open-source assistive technology community.

To aid in the transition to our new 3D printing learning platform, we kept the old platform running but the time has come to close it down and enter the next chapter of PrintLab.

Cath has set the PrintLab community some design challenges to help her in her day-to-day life!
