誰是e-NABLE ?
John Scull, the founder of e-NABLE (mid left with glasses & hand)
e-NABLE社區和“三維機械手運動”的靈感來自於兩個陌生人（來自美國的道具製造商和來自南非的一個木匠）在10,000英里之外走在一起 - 為南非的一個小孩子的創建一個假手裝置......然後便計劃了免費的機械手運動......讓那些有需要的人可以讓他們為自己或為讓別人打印創建一個機械手
最初開始是幾個男人傢伙為幫助一個孩子需要而創造的東西...現已發展成為工能巧匠，工程師，3D打印愛好者，職業治療師，大學教授，設計師，父母，家庭，藝術家，學生，教師和人民的一個世界性運動，誰只想做一個difference. 他們是一體的，創造，創新，重新設計，並給那些需要它的人給了“援助之手” - 無論是幫助打印零件，建立一隻完整的機械手設備，或幫助指導他們為自己建立一隻機械手
有世界各地的志愿者 - 利用三維打印的手指和手給那些从来没相見到对方的孩子，班高中學生為他們的當地社區的人在動手打印，數百名童子軍共同組裝的手為全球各地缺醫少藥地區的孩子們共同組裝機械手，另外一組是冒著生命危險的帶這些機械手設備到有戰爭的第三世界國家，新的感人的故事天天正在發生天天和被報導，父母與他們的孩子在在家裡一起做"手"。

What's E-nable ?
The e-NABLE community and the “3d Mechanical Hand – Maker Movement” was inspired by two strangers (a prop maker from the USA and a carpenter from South Africa) that came together from 10,000 miles apart – to create a prosthetic hand device for a small child in South Africa …and then gave the plans away – for free…so that those in need of the device could make them for themselves or have someone make it for them.What originally started out as a couple of guys who created something to help one child in need…has grown into a world wide movement of tinkerers, engineers, 3D print enthusiasts, occupational therapists, university professors, designers, parents, families, artists, students, teachers and people who just want to make a difference.They are coming together to create, innovate, re-design and give a “Helping hand” to those that need it – whether it is helping to print parts for them, creating a completed device for them or simply helping to guide them as they build one themselves.
There are people around the Globe – 3d printing fingers and hands for children they will never meet, classes of high school students who are making hands for people in their local communities, hundreds of Scout troops working together to assemble hands for children in underserved areas around the globe, a group of people that are risking their lives to get these devices onto people in 3rd World countries and new stories every day of parents working with their children to make a hand together.
The seed was planted and the Tree is branching out, growing and becoming more beautiful than ever imagined!Come watch it grow with us!
