About this project
The Writing Grip is a small, 3D-printed device that fits around the shaft of most writing utensils, attaching ergonomic finger slots and a larger frame to properly grip and use the tool.
The challenge
The Shepherd Center strives to increase patients' independence when
performing activities of daily living such as using writing utensils.
Who it helps
Intended users of this Writing Grip are individuals with limited hand dexterity. This could lead to difficulty tools like pens or pencils with a traditional grip.
How it works
The Shepherd Center strives to increase patients' independence when performing activities of daily living such as using writing utensils.
The Writing Grip limits the need for traditional writing utensil grip when busing a larger, ergonomic attachment to hold rather than the small stem of a pen or pencil.
Tools needed
PC or MAC I7 +
Fusion 360
Prusa slicer
