About Us

The “secret sauce” to our Program is our team of dedicated volunteers: bio-med, mechanical, and electrical engineers, medical professionals, welders, 3D-printing specialists and student engineers – a community of talented volunteers who come together to design innovative devices to change the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. Solutions are either manufactured from the “ground up” using the latest tools and technology or modified by using an existing device.  We use an industry approach to complete the devices from market research, to client evaluations, to safety and quality control. Each device is tailored to the client.

Who are our clients?

Individuals who live in Maryland and Washington DC – All ages, all disabilities – our team is here to enhance lives through design and innovation!
