We design and fabricate assistive technology devices using 3D printing, pressure forming, laser cutting, and a variety of other readily available materials and hardware.
Fabrication services are available to Illinois residents of all ages with disabilities and/or health related conditions whose primary use for the device is to enhance their independence and participation in their daily living activities.
We are not able to provide products or long term loans to an agency or organization that is required to meet the assistive technology needs of those they serve. For example, school districts have a responsibility to meet the AT needs of their students and employers have a responsibility to provide reasonable accommodations for their employees. We are able to provide design assistance for nonexisting products and may be able to help through use of our volunteer network and/or facilitating connections with other resources. Contact us for more information.
There are multiple factors that affect the timeline for a custom order request. Once your request is submitted, you will hear from a member of the Maker Team within 3-5 business days to discuss your particular needs. An estimated timeline will be provided based on the complexity of the product and other related variables.
Products are provided free of charge to Illinois residents as a long term customer loan. You are able to keep the product for as long as needed. When it is no longer being used, we ask that it be returned so that others in need may also benefit from the program.
