Origins
We started in 2016 and continue to focus on patient-oriented work. Since our genesis, we have Developed Ten successful products and intend on increasing that Number. ENABLEUC IS A NON-PROFIT INCUBATOR FOR 3D PRINTED MEDICAL DEVICES ESTABLISHED BY UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS. THIS VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED AT UC IN THE FALL OF 2015 TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN ENGINEERING AND MEDICINE VIA 3-D PRINTING. BY PROVIDING RESOURCES AND PROMOTING EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH, WE ENABLE STUDENTS TO DESIGN, BUILD, AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS THAT DIRECTLY BENEFIT PATIENTS WITH DISABILITIES. IN CASES RANGING FROM PEDIATRIC PROSTHETICS TO ASSISTIVE DEVICES FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, OUR GROUP PROVIDES FUNCTIONAL AND COST EFFECTIVE DEVICES THAT ENABLE PATIENTS TO OVERCOME DISABILITIES— ALL FOR FREE. |
