16. What is E-
Nable?• Group of Volunteers, helping children who are
missing fingers or hands due to war, disease,
or birth defects by printing 3D prosthetic
hands from crowd-sourced designs.
• Low-cost solutions for children with upper
limb deficiencies. This is crowdsourcing in its
purest form: volunteers who build on each
other’s ideas and share them with the rest of
the world for the greater good.
• More than 1,400 people with prosthetics at no
cost over the past year.
The 3-D printed prosthetics are particularly useful for children. They often grow out
of prosthetics and can't afford replacements every few months or years. The 3-D
versions also can be lighter and easier to use — and come in their favorite color!
In particular, the group is interested in building alliances with aid workers in war-torn
regions, disaster zones, and impoverished communities where inexpensive and
easily attainable prosthetics
