Welcome to GRiP

Design Today to Change Tomorrow

Who We Are

GRiP (Generational Relief in Prosthetics) is a student organization, made up of University of Florida students, that strive to make a difference in the lives of others. We make 3D-printed assistive devices, as well as adaptive controllers and toys, for those in need across the world. We also conduct research in a variety of areas and strive to educate the community on STEM through outreach activities.

How to Request a Device

Those interested in one of our upper-limb devices should fill out our device form. Then, contact our Recipient Coordinator at gripfamilyuf@gmail.com and our Assistive Devices Project Managers at gripassistivedeviceuf@gmail.com.

For adapted controllers and toys, contact our Recipient Coordinator and Gaming Project Managers at gripgaminguf@gmail.com.

Be sure to reach out with any questions about the process of requesting a device. We customize the device to be sized to the recipient, as well as add any finishing touches or custom paint jobs, so be aware we have an extended design & manufacturing process.

We are open to all majors and no experience is necessary! You can contact us via our President at ufgrip3d@gmail.com.
