The Spanish entity has developed a unique running prosthesis design for the presentation of the Spanish Paralympic team's equipment.
The Spanish Paralympic Committee (CPE) presented last Thursday at the Picasso Museum in Malaga the official equipment, designed by John Smith, which will be worn by the athletes of our country during the Paralympic Games in Paris 2024. On this day, the organization opted for innovation and solidarity in its gala with the collaboration of the Spanish entity Ayúdame3D, which has used 3D printing to design a unique running prosthesis, with the visual and aesthetic identity of the equipment that will accompany the Spanish team during the games this summer.
The organization's Biomedical Engineering Department created this model specifically for the presentation. With a lightweight, yet durable design, the sports prosthetic leg has been printed with recycled and sustainable materials, and is presented in the colors that identify the uniform that athletes wear during events.
Guillermo Gauna-Vivas, founder and CEO of Ayúdame3D, a Spanish entity that prints and delivers 3D prostheses free of charge in more than 60 countries, says that the whole team received the news with great joy. "That the Paralympic Committee has counted on our experience to make this prosthesis is undoubtedly a door to more actions in the future, more visibility for social technology and more scope for all those boys and girls who dream of being professional athletes like those who represent us in the Paralympic Games in Paris," explains Guillermo.
Ayúdame3D collaborates with numerous organizations and institutions to disseminate the social value of technology and make visible that our differences make us equal. On this occasion, the collaboration with the Spanish Paralympic Committee serves to kick off the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, where our athletes will once again wear the equipment from August 28 to September 8.
