Mr Jitt tests the 3D printed hand

The very first test went about as good as can be expected, the fit wasn't perfect, but the staff at Sirindhorn Hospital made some changes to the palm support and soon Mr. Jitt was picking things up. As expected he will need more time to train his wrists to the movement. Still, it's almost magical to see this work for the first time on someone we weren't so sure could use this design. Great work from Khun Goong the physical therapist and Khun Whoot, Mana, Boon Mee and the rest of the staff at Sirindhorn. A good first test that will lead us to improving it and inspiring more to help what we are doing. Nice Job!

3D printer day at Sirindhorn hospital

Dr. Nopparat of Udon Thani University arrived at Sirindhorn hospital, bringing with him a donation of a 3D printer.  

Honoring the late King

The donation of a 3D printer to Sirindhorn Hospital by Dr. Nopparat was a great way to mark the one year anniversary of the passing of King Rama IX. Sirindhorn Hospital is on land given by the King and it is named for his daughter, Princess Sirindhorn. Thank you to the staff at Sirindhorn Hospital for all the hard work in setting up the first pilot project of Thai Reach and Thank you again Dr. Nopparat .
