FranU DPT Students Use 3D Printing to Create Mobility Devices for Children

 

Under the guidance of DPT faculty, including Research Director Dr. Phil Page, Assistant Professor Dr. Megan Gautreau and Director of Clinical Education Dr. Mari Kantrow, students are using 3D printing technology to create mobility trainer parts and adaptive devices to help children move and interact with the world more independently.

 

Supporting the Mission

DPT students will be raising funds to cover the costs of materials and hardware. Each mobility trainer costs approximately $250 to produce.
