3D Printing News Unpeeled: Sustainable Composites, UAE and Saab, Makers Making Change
Makers Making Change is a not-for-profit started in 2016 that connects makers with those needing assistive devices. Things such as hand grips to help people hold playing cards or glasses are often unique and low volume. Makers Making Change connects patients with makers who print out from a library of devices.
