3-
The OpenAT Design Guide is a collection of the CAD and 3D printing best practices used by the Makers Making Change team while designing OpenAT devices. The guide includes information on general 3D printing design tips, how to design around the common commercial components used by Makers Making Change, and how to design the common 3D printed features added to Makers Making Change devices.

**OpenAT (Open-Source Assistive Technology)** refers to assistive devices whose designs are publicly shared, allowing anyone to study, modify, make, and improve them. OpenAT projects are typically co-created by people with disabilities, engineers, makers, and disability professionals. Because the designs are open, these technologies can be adapted to individual needs, built at lower cost, and improved by a global community, increasing accessibility for everyone.

The **OpenAT Design Guide** is intended to be an ever-growing collection of resources and best practises for designing OpenAT that is easy to build, adapt, use, and improve upon. The guide includes information on Design for 3D Printing, as well as details on many of the design elements and common commercial components used by Makers Making Change.
