Welcome to Your Occupational Therapy 3D Printing Resource
A free website with tutorials, a printable assistive device library, and beginner-friendly explanations of how 3D printing works.
About the Website
The website brings together three things in one place. A simple explanation of how 3D printing works, tutorials written for people running their first print, and a library of assistive devices you can download and print.
Why This Resource Was Created
Occupational therapy programs rarely teach 3D printing, so most practitioners start with no hands-on training and no clear first step. General printing guides often skip the clinical side, leaving practitioners searching for guidance that connects printing to patient care. This website collects those instructions, a printable device library, and a beginner's explanation of the technology in one place.
