ROCK HILL, South Carolina April 4, 2014 *3D Systems*(NYSE:DDD) today announced that it is supporting the 3D printing project Engaging Young People with Assistive Technologies, a program for students with physical disabilities at Hereward College in Coventry, United Kingdom. Since September 2013, this project has been empowering physically challenged students through 3D printing technology to help them design objects that make everyday life easier. The project is funded by the University of Warwick.*
Hereward College students who suffer from conditions such as muscular dystrophy, can find tasks such as drinking from a glass or bottle difficult, even when using a straw. Through this 3D printing project they are learning to design and print useful implements that can help them overcome these challenges using their CubeX 3D printer from 3D Systems.
