UF students design 3D-printed assistive devices for people with disabilities

University of Florida students from the College of Public Health and Health Professions and the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering are teaming up to build custom 3D-printed tools — such as jar openers and key grippers — for community members with disabilities. The interdisciplinary project pairs occupational therapy students with engineering teams to develop affordable, personalized solutions for everyday challenges that large medical equipment manufacturers tend to overlook.
