Engineering and Manufacturing Philanthropy
My January MMS column introduces May We Help, a Cincinnati non-profit that creates and makes free assistive devices for people with disabilities. Learn more about this organization, its plans and its needs.
Of course, winning funding through donations is key to support MWH’s selfless efforts. I hope that you’ll reach out to MWH as I have if you feel you can assist the organization with any of its needs. (Or, perhaps you have contacts in the Orlando or Indianapolis areas that could be of assistance.) Besides, MWH is all about adding value, and that’s exactly what machine shops do every day.
MWH hopes to expand its machine/fab shop. The organization currently has a knee mill, benchtop lathe, press brakes, grinders and the like available for volunteers to use.
A variety of disciplines came together in the creation of this device that enables a person with limited dexterity to hit a switch stopping a light under the card he/she would like to play. Many other examples can be found at the organization’s site.
MWH recently purchased this Makerbot desktop 3D printer. To date, it has been used to create components for just a couple projects. However, the volunteers have certainly been drawn to it.
