The Open Prosthetics Project

1. Prostheses can be better. We'd like your help.
2. We can improve things by sharing our designs in areas where business models fail.

The Open Prosthetics Project is producing useful innovations in the field of prosthetics and giving the designs away for free. By substituting public good for profits we believe that we can generate far more societal benefit than if we commercialized and sold our ideas. This project is an open source collaboration between users, designers and funders with the goal of making our creations freely available for anyone to use and build upon.

We are the first initiative of The Shared Design Alliance, which seeks to take what we learn in developing tools for Open Prosthetics, and make the sharing of physical designs easier for everyone.
