    This project is collaboration between Fablab Amsterdam,
    Fablab India Netaji Subhas, New Delhi,
    arctic MIT Fablab Norway.
     
    The goal is to engineer a low cost prosthetic alignment laser (P.A.L) system that meets (almost) the specifications of ottobocks L.A.S.A.R system.
    A cheap DIY kit made in a Fablab would allow prosthetic makers in developing countries
    to have a professional tool to improve the alignment of limb prosthetics on their patients.
     
    The collaboration consists of:
