The non-profit organization uses 3D technology to offer affordable prosthetics.
A 3D scanner and a 3D printer help you quickly create affordable, customized prosthetics for children with agenesis.
In short: the French non-profit organization E-Nable uses Calibry 3D scanners to help children with agenesis get inexpensive prosthetics.
Tasks: there are almost no individual and inexpensive prosthetics for children in France. The goal of E-Nables is to fill this niche.
Tools: Calibry 3D scanner, Calibry Nest software, various 3D printers.
The result is that the cost of prosthetics has been reduced to 50 euros while maintaining the full functionality of the device, made individually for each child.
E-Nable is a non—profit organization in France that uses 3D technology to help children with agenesis (absence or underdevelopment of a body part). According to Mr. Okidam, president and founder of E-Nable France, 3D technologies not only provide children with affordable and customized prosthetics, but also help them feel more confident.
450 children with agenesis are born in France every year. Such families usually have two options:
— Purchase a robotic prosthesis. It provides autonomous movement, but usually such prostheses are expensive, heavy and fragile. They do not always adapt to the morphology of the child’s limbs.
or
— An aesthetic prosthesis. They are easy to find on the market, and insurance companies reimburse expenses for them. These prostheses hide disability, but they can do little to help in everyday life.
E-Nable was created for children with hand or finger agenesis to find an alternative to existing solutions on the market.
Traditionally, specialists use a mold to make prosthetics to order. 3D technologies provide faster results, which is usually comfortable for patients. 3D-printed prosthetics are not only functional, but also affordable — the cost of one device is 50 euros.

The E-Nable has 3 Calibry scanners in its arsenal. With Calibry, even a person who is far from 3D scanning can easily digitize a forearm, hand, or palm (scanning takes place in geometry mode).
In the next step, the data is processed in Calibry Nest and sent to a 3D printer. At the final stage, the prostheses are decorated in the style of popular cartoons and films, such as "Cold Heart", Superman or Batman, so that every child can become a superhero.
Every year, E-Nable France manufactures more than fifty 3D-printed prosthetics, helping children gain self-confidence.
