EnableUC Fund
EnableUC is a student-run volunteer organization that makes 3D printed medical devices ranging from pediatric prosthetics to assistive devices for traumatic brain injury. The group provides functional and cost-effective devices that enable patients to overcome disabilities — all for free.
Established by University of Cincinnati biomedical engineering students in 2015, the group seeks to utilize 3D printing to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine. By providing resources and promoting educational outreach, they enable students to design, build and implement solutions that directly benefit patients with disabilities. The group has grown since its inception, and now includes not just engineering students, but students from Lindner College of Business, College of Arts & Sciences, College of Medicine and the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. Together they have created and provided more than 45 devices to the community.
In order to continue to offer the prosthetics and assistive devices to patients who desperately need this care, funding is needed for equipment and materials. By making a tax-deductible donation to the EnableUC fund, you are directly supporting their patients and furthering the education of our students. On behalf of the University of Cincinnati and the College of Engineering and Applied Science, please accept our profound gratitude for your support.
