Outline of Final Research Achievements

Assistive technology service is essential for adapting assistive devices to the individual needs of users with disabilities. However, assistive technology service often depends on the empirical knowledge and experience-based skills of individuals or the regional community. The issues of production or remodeling are significantly related to these problems.
In this study, we attempted to apply 3D printing technology to some actual cases, and proposed its effective applications and a collaborative database. A prototype of the database was developed that can share the digital data and information about the technique and knowledge of providing assistive devices to the users. The digitized shapes were also designed by a parametric approach. It is possible to redesign the shapes of the device by modifying its parameters. This database has a good potential to increase the level of assistive technology service in both local production and collaboration between distant regional communities.
