New Collaboration for Innovation in Healthcare
New Collaboration for Innovation in Healthcare 1080 1350 Enabling Website e-Νable Greece

We are happy to announce the signing of a cooperation agreement between e-Nable Greece and the 1st Orthopedic Clinic of the General Hospital of Athens “G. Gennimatas”.

The purpose of this collaboration is to use 3D printing and scanning technology to create personalized assistive and rehabilitation devices, aiming to improve patients’ quality of life and support innovation in healthcare.

The collaboration also includes the creation of 3D models based on real medical cases and the printing of life-size replicas, to help doctors treat injuries faster and more effectively.

Through joint research, design, and training activities, we will develop customized solutions for both patients and healthcare professionals, while also strengthening cooperation between engineers, doctors, and therapists.

This initiative is an important step in connecting technology with medical practice and promoting human-centered and innovative solutions in healthcare.

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.
