What better way to help connect people in need with those available to help, than through a discussion forum like 3DPrintBoard.com and a media outlet like 3DPrint.com. Today we announce the 3D Prosthetic Printing Initiative, an initiative that we hope will help bring 3D printed prosthetics to thousands of people in need. It won't be easy, but through the help of those individuals with 3D printers, and our community, we hope to be successful.

This folder should be used for individual cases. A new thread should be created for each charity project that is underway. For example. If Janet Jones has requested a 3D printed hand, in the 'Need a Prosthetic 3D Printed' section of our forum, once the details are collected, one of the initiative leaders will post the new project in this folder. Then anyone willing to help will be able to do so, whether it be through ideas, printing of pieces, or custom engineering. The goal is to help as many people as possible in the most efficient ways possible.

Over the course of the next few days and weeks, you will find more and more information here. If you are willing to help out in one way or another, please volunteer here. You can also see a list of what we are looking for in terms of volunteers here. It doesn't matter if you have a 3D printer. You can help in multiple ways.

Thanks
Eddie
