INTERVIEW OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST It is a pleasure to work together with other professionals.
“As an Occupational Therapist I often have to come up with creative ideas to meet the needs of my clients who have physical and/or cognitive impairments. When I can’t find an adaptive tool or device already on the market I will sometimes make something home made to meet their need. Having the ability to use a special toolkit to design an adaptive aid and have it made by a 3-D printer is a great idea that could benefit a number of my clients.”

OBSERVATION THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR ONE-OFF PIECES ARE EXORBITANT, ELABORATE AND NEEDS A LOT OF TIME BUT THE PATIENT NEED HIS AID NOW AND THE INSURANCE DOESN’T WANT TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY IN MANY CASES.
GOAL HOW CAN WE ASSIST OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS WITH USING NEW 3D-PRINTING AND 3D SCANNING TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE THEIR PRACTICE? HELP THE HELPERS
PROJECT How can we assist occupational therapists with using new 3D-Printing and 3D scanning technologies to improve their practice? I can see a lot of potential in involving the target audience in the design process in general.
In this project I like to create DIY design solutions for occupational therapists. I want to encourage the occupational therapists to make special customized assistive devices using modeling material by their own. After going back to the roots and modelling by hand the object can be reproduced using 3D scaning and printing.

IDEA MATERIAL + TOOLS + PROCESS = METHOD Generate a method out of material, tools and process.
TOOLS How we can cut, form, carve, copy and connect material?
MATERIAL We need to find a material which is flexible and static at the same time. We need something in between. Easy to shape and possible to scan.
PROCESS The activity that the occupational therapists will do to take the raw material and turn it into a model of an assistive device that could be scanned using a 3D-scanner. We want to design the process of creating new models for creating in a 3D-printed assistive device.
ELEMENTS OF A SOLUTION Elements of supporting the new method of creating little handcrafted helping aids for health care and therapy. With due regard of new Materials, new tools and a new process needs new product to supporting the method. We highly value your work and the ideas from you and your patients. They will help us improve practice of developing assistive devices for all occupational therapists.
