e-NABLE
e-NABLE is a global volunteer network that uses 3D printers to make free or low-cost prosthetic hands and arms for people who need them.
A powerful example is found in e-NABLE, the open-source prosthetics community. This global network connects volunteers who have 3D printers with individuals in need of prosthetic hands and arms. The relationship is a multi-layered resource exchange: The volunteers (Designers/Makers) [+] contribute their skills, time, and materials (a resource) and in return gain a sense of purpose and identity.
