Using the e-NABLE Program in the Classroom

Hundreds of schools have had great success using the e-NABLE program to help teach students about design-oriented thinking and incorporating empathy into the curriculum. To help you get started in your classroom, be sure to check out the wonderful open source curriculum materials developed by e-NABLE volunteer and teacher, Lyndsey Wells. They are organized by grade level and are aligned with the latest New York State Learning Standards and the Next Generation Science & Engineering Practices.

If you're undecided about which design to make, 3D Universe recommends starting with the e-NABLE Phoenix Hand v3. This design is the easiest to print and to assemble. Check our Assembly Tutorial here:

If you plan to make a functional device for a person to use, the Kinetic Hand is the currently recommended design.

A discount is available on these kits for e-NABLE members who are actively involved in the charitable fabrication of these devices. Email info@3duniverse.org for more details.

PETG is easy to print like PLA, but it has a higher temperature resistance and improved strength. This makes it ideally suited for printing e-NABLE assistive devices.
