Kids Lab Day at NTUA – Children Assemble Their Own 3D-Printed Hand!

Kids Lab Day at NTUA – Children Assemble Their Own 3D-Printed Hand! 250 333 Enabling Website e-Νable Greece

As part of the NTUA Open Labs, the Applied Thermodynamics Lab of the School of Mechanical Engineering organized the Kids Lab Day!

🔹 In collaboration with the 3D Energy Hub and with the sponsorship of e-Nable Greece, providing materials, designs, and training, children aged 10-13 years old were introduced to the world of 3D printing and social contribution.

🔹 They experienced all the stages of creating a 3D-printed mechanical hand:
✅ Design & dimensioning
✅ Printing & assembly
✅ Mechanical function adjustment

🔹 Using designs from the global e-Nable community, they assembled the Flexi Hand 2 and took home their very own 3D-printed hand as a keepsake!

This initiative brought children closer to technology and inclusion, showing them how innovation can change lives!

A big thank you to the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), the Applied Thermodynamics Lab, the 3D Energy Hub, and all the young participants who joined us!

We express our gratitude to all those who helped us achieve victory in this event. Your support allows our mission to drive youth artists toward bringing their creative artwork to reality.

We need to keep supporting youth development through artistic combinations of modern expression and creative innovation.

Making a Difference: Personalized Assistive Devices for Panagiotis

Making a Difference: Personalized Assistive Devices for Panagiotis 200 246 Enabling Website e-Νable Greece

On May 23, we visited AMYMONE and delivered a series of splints for one of their students, Panagiotis. His physiotherapist, Sophia, requested a splint to help rest his hands, which naturally tend to curve inward.

We provided several designs in various sizes to ensure the best fit for Panagiotis. With Sophia’s expertise, we customized one of the proposed designs to suit the unique physiology of his hands. The remaining splints will be used for other children facing similar challenges.

We’re now awaiting feedback from Sophia to finalize the improved design with Velcro attachments for stability and to provide two splints—one for each hand.

Thank you for trusting us!

If you or someone you know needs an assistive device—for yourself, a friend, or even a pet—don’t hesitate to contact us.
Our devices are delivered free of charge to the final recipient.

Who says cats only have nine lives? Arlok proves that with a little help, they can have endless second chances!

After losing one of his legs, Arlok got a boost from the amazing team at e-Nable Greece, who created a custom 3D-printed splint just for him. Now, he’s back in action, living his best cat life with a fantastic tech upgrade!

Arlok’s story reminds us that innovation and creativity can work wonders—even for our four-legged friends in need.

Enhancing Accessibility: Designing an Inclusive Shopping Experience for the Visually Impaired in Kallithea

Enhancing Accessibility: Designing an Inclusive Shopping Experience for the Visually Impaired in Kallithea 200 165 Enabling Website e-Νable Greece

On May 23, an initial visit was conducted at the Masoutis store in Kallithea, Attica, with the goal of assessing the store’s suitability to incorporate accessibility features for individuals with visual impairments.

The visit was coordinated by Mr. Thanasis Sideris and Ms. Lia Avraam from the Accessibility Support Academy, who are designers and accessibility consultants specializing in visual impairments.

Under their guidance, we will design a tactile-audio map for the store. A second visit to the store will follow to conduct a more detailed survey of the space and analyze the desired points of interest to be included in the tactile-audio map.

This is an exciting approach to accessibility for everyone, introduced by a large-scale retail store that aims to provide autonomy for individuals with visual impairments.

The Kallithea area was selected as it hosts the largest number of visually impaired individuals in the country.

Stay tuned for the next steps! We would love to hear your ideas for creating a more accessible everyday life for everyone.

We are excited to present the results of the methodology developed as part of the Solidarity Project “Accessible Playgrounds.”

Our goal is to create accessible playgrounds, particularly for children with visual impairments. By digitally mapping playgrounds, we identified areas that needed adjustments to make these spaces more welcoming and safer for all children.

Our collaboration with AMIMONI and the use of innovative technologies played a crucial role in this effort.
