Student-Led Nonprofit

Technology
with a heart.

We are a student-led team using 3D printing to close gaps in healthcare and education — building assistive devices, emotional support items, and tactile learning tools for those who need them most.

To use 3D printing and design to provide both practical assistance and emotional support, while addressing real-world problems through technology.

From Filament To Impact

Every layer serves someone

Watch what our printers build — the same things our members design, print, and deliver all year.

Assistive DevicesAdaptive tools and prosthetic hands, printed for real patients.
Emotional SupportComfort items that patients can hold onto — courage, printed.
Education AccessTactile learning tools for visually impaired students.
What We Do

Three ways we make a difference

01

Assistive Devices

We design and 3D-print prosthetic hands and assistive tools — in partnership with networks like e-NABLE — and donate them to children’s hospitals and patients.

02

Emotional Support

“Courage Medals” and personalized keychains that recognize the strength of young patients — small objects that become a real source of encouragement.

03

Education Access

Braille and tactile learning tools plus 3D educational models, donated to schools and institutions serving visually impaired students.

Our Vision

A future where technology reshapes human experiences.

We believe technology is not just a tool, but a means to improve lives. Pediatric patients often face physical limits and emotional isolation; visually impaired students lack tactile learning resources. We exist to change that.

Our goal is to build a sustainable, student-led model of social innovation — one meaningful project at a time.

Why We Started

“Helping others is not simply about giving something, but about understanding their experiences and sharing in them.”

Read the founder’s story

The idea for Youth MedPrint began with a simple realization: the joy of challenge and accomplishment isn’t equally accessible to every child, especially those in long hospital stays.

3D printing offered a way to design something meaningful for each individual’s needs — and to connect people with one another.
