Who we are

Student-led • Client-focused • Engineering

Our club brings together students across engineering, design, and health disciplines to create tailored prosthetic solutions. We work closely with clients to understand their lifestyle, goals, and unique anatomy to tailor every prosthetic to their needs.

What we do: We handle the full process from design to delivery — including guiding you through measurements, 3D modeling, material selection, printing, and fitting. Each prosthetic is iterated in collaboration with the client for comfort, function, and aesthetics.
3D-printed and custom-fabricated devices
Clients from California to New York
Hands-on learning for all project members
Why it matters

Custom prosthetics are often expensive and inaccessible. By combining student ingenuity with low-cost fabrication, we can serve clients who might otherwise go without.

We especially focus on, but are not limited to:

  • Clients seeking myoelectric prosthetic hands
  • Pets whose mobility impacts their quality of life
  • Individuals seeking lightweight, activity-specific devices

Interested in joining the team, becoming a client, or partnering with us? Reach out using the contact section below.
