Adaptive Rowing Handle British Paralympic Adaptive Rowing Team - July 2014
Designed and fabricated for British Rowing Paralympic athlete Oliver Hester. His hand was laser scanned (live and using a plaster cast) and a handle was created in CAD. An initial 3D printed (FDM) prototype was tested for fit & function and following some iterations a mould was created from the FDM plug and a PU rubber part was produced with an aluminium core.
He used this handle throughout the 2014 season culminating in winning gold medal at the World Rowing Cup in Aiguebelette, France and the World Rowing Championships in Korea in the same year.
