Surely you know what a trésdesis is, but surely you did not know some of the facts we tell you today.
In Ayúdame3D we have been creating trésdesis for more than five years and delivering them free of charge to people around the world who request them. These devices are 3D printed arms with prehensile mobility thanks to the joint that each person has (wrist, elbow or shoulder). That is, the natural movement of the joint activates a mechanism of nylon and rubber threads, which makes the fingers close and open thanks to these rubber bands.
The process of obtaining a trésdesis is also very simple. Anyone who needs it can order it from this link of our website. Once the request is received, our team will contact you back to start the design and manufacturing process. Annually we create hundreds of trésdesis that help to improve the quality of life and give the possibility of access to new opportunities to the people who request them.
We've already told you what they are, but do you want to know more about our trésdesis? Here are five interesting facts about them:
1. Our standard trésdesis models are named after three girls from the Bamba orphanage. Bamba orphanage (Nelly, Mery and Vicky), the place where the Ayúdame3D journey began.
2. All the devices we create are unique and customized. They are not only adapted to each person's needs, but also to their tastes. We love to be creative!
3. We use sustainable materials in the process of creating these aids. We always use reels of recycled plastic or PLA, a plastic from plant resources such as corn starch.
4. We innovate to help more and more people
We adapt our existing models or develop new unique designs. Whether they are for a single person or for several, we will try to help whenever we can. In the last year we have conducted tests to create the first ever trésdesis that can grip a guide dog's harness, we have adapted our devices to build a finger trésdesis and we continue to work daily to develop many more designs.
5. It has been more than five years since we delivered our first trésdesis in Kenya. Today our devices are present in more than 55 countries, yes, also in Spain. We are looking forward to helping people in many more countries, wherever they ask for our help we will try to do our best to deliver them.
