Assistive technology works best when it fits the person

Volksswitch makes it easier to create individualized AT close to the people who will use it — by giving professionals, families, and makers the tools and knowledge they need.

Personalized

Adapt designs to the individual — their device, app, case, access method, and environment.

Affordable

Free designs and local 3D printing reduce cost, delay, and dependence on custom commercial fabrication.

Practical

Built for therapists, educators, families, and makers — not just engineers.

Open

All designs are freely shared so they can be used, adapted, improved, and distributed by anyone who needs them.

Why free? Why customizable? Why us?

Volksswitch was founded on a simple conviction: every person who needs an assistive technology device should be able to get one that actually fits them — regardless of budget, geography, or how unusual their needs might be. The people closest to that individual are best positioned to make that happen.
