Earring

The challenge

To help people with this disability

Who it helps

People who don't have fine motor skills

How it works

Helping Maite with everyday life tasks like this, so she can be more independent and doesn’t need to rely on others for help.

We are developing a prototype where Maite takes an earring. One side holds the pin of the earring, and the other side holds the backing. Then, by simply pressing, the tool pushes the pin into the backing and secures it.

Tools needed

PC or MAC I7 +

FDM Printer
