Abstract
3D printing is revolutionizing the lives of senior citizens, enabling the creation of customized solutions tailored to their specific needs. Thanks to co-design, seniors can actively participate in the creation of technical aids, in collaboration with occupational therapists. This approach promotes autonomy and well-being, while reducing manufacturing costs and lead times. This technology is thus becoming a key tool for improving the quality of life of our elders, right in the heart of homes for the dependent elderly.
