Printing the Future

Meet The Team

What is Havenlabs?

We are a global community of thinkers, engineers, and makers that use 3D printing as a vehicle to help our military veterans.

Why use 3D Printing?

-Flexible in design

-Inexpensive to manufacture

-Promotes open source

Utility Gauntlet V1 Design

3D Printed design that is open source to create the possibility for maximum versatility based on the activity of the amputee.

Simplicity

-20 minutes of assembly

-Requires minimal supports

-No post prep necessary

CUSTOMIZATION

3D scanning makes it possible to create custom fitting sockets.

It helps to recreate the amputee’s natural geometry.

Utility Gauntlet V1.2 Design

Utility Gauntlet V2 Design

-Built on the previous two versions to create a more natural feeling and looking device

-Dovetail, interlocking system brought from V1.2 into V.2

-New wing design allows for easier adjustability for fluctuations in the amputee’s residual limb

Our Veterans’ Future

Havenlabs is collaborating with fellow nonprofit, 3D Veterans, to teach veterans 3D design to gain opportunities in the manufacturing industry.

This will help inspire veterans by providing them with a vehicle to create designs specifically for their fellow military veterans.

We hope that our role in the program will empower veterans to continue to create assistive devices for others in need.
