Partnerships · 11 May 06 by Jonathan Kuniholm
Bob Radocy of TRS Inc. has partnered with us to explore possibilities in the commercial offering of open source designs, and may collaborate with us on some projects. As a businessman, designer and user of prosthetic devices, Bob has quite a broad perspective on the state of upper-extremity prosthetics, and has done a lot to change the options available.
A note we forgot to post from some time ago: Ralf Hotchkiss of Whirlwind Wheelchair International has agreed to help us with his expertise in open source design and appropriate technology. Ralf has been involved in helping small businesses in developing countries manufacture low-cost wheelchairs using local materials for over 30 years. Ralf’s design is sturdy, reliable, and suitable for the environments in which it is used.
