Our Mission
To serve real human needs with practical 3D printing.
Hearing Aid Benefits
Communication
If a person can hear, then they can learn to speak. If they can speak, then they can begin to communicate.
Confidence
Communication leads to building confidence. A person is able to be more self-reliant, in turn boosting their self-esteem.
Hope
Building communication and confidence leads to integration into society, which gives hope. Growing with others and dreams of attending school, learning a trade, future employment, and community engagement can become real.
With your help, we can launch our project in Jordan.
The goal is to provide 12,000 hearing aids over 5 years.
3dp4me needs to initially raise $200,000.
3D Ear Scan in a Refugee Camp
A 3D model is created in our cloud server.
Immediately our 3D modeler can download the file, finish designing, then start 3D printing.
