4Arm Crutches
This project was my senior Product Design Capstone project. My partner and I wanted to focus on making it easier to do everyday things like give a hug, carry a grocery bag, or open a door while using crutches. Our focus was on long term crutch users, mainly leg amputees. The design features a cuff that includes hooks for carrying bags and magnets for the crutches to attach together, and silicone slip-on hand grips.

PROCESS
PROCESSES USED: The crutch cuffs were 3D printed, while the grips were made from a CNC milled mold that we then filled with silicone & cured.
