According to the World Health Organization, fewer than 3% of people in developing countries who need a hearing aid actually have one.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">3DP4ME is working to close that gap through </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">The Hearing Express</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">, an innovative program delivering custom 3D printed hearing aids to children in need. 3DP4ME uses a mobile 3D scanner to create precise ear moldings for each child. The process takes just two minutes and ensures a perfect fit for the hearing aid.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">In addition to the hearing aids, each child receives speech therapy sessions, enabling them to better engage in school and make developmental progress.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Nearly two years after launching their initial pilot in Jordan, 48 out of 52 children are thriving, wearing their hearing aids daily, and participating more actively both in school and at home. Recently, 3DP4ME hosted a </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;">Hearing Express Party</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> to celebrate the children and their families. Their social media platform shows a joyful gathering filled with smiles, laughter, and gratitude.</span></p><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"></h3><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:24px;font-weight:700;">A Story of Impact: Meet Toleen</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">On the 3DP4ME website, you can read testimonials of children who were positively impacted by 3D printing technology. </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Toleen</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;is a 12-year-old, sixth grade girl from Jordan who loves to draw. As a child with hearing loss, she struggled to keep up with schoolwork and found it difficult to communicate with classmates.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Thanks to her new 3D printed hearing aids and support from 3DP4ME, Toleen is now completing her schoolwork more independently, and her social interactions have improved. She’s making steady progress and gaining confidence with her improved ability to communicate. Her dream for the future? To one day help other children with hearing loss.</span></p></span></div><div></div><div></div><p></p></div></div>

This project plan provides a comprehensive, compassionate care model for mobility.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The project began with a successful pilot in Jordan, where five children received custom-designed prosthetic limbs. Each child also received individualized support and physical therapy. This helped to ensure they not only learned to walk again but also felt empowered every step of the way.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Now, 3DP4ME is preparing to launch a new pilot in southern Syria, aiming to deliver prosthetics to more children in need. Their long-term goal is to scale operations to reach even more young people affected by conflict in the area.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">In one of the most challenging humanitarian settings, 3DP4ME is also planning a pilot in Gaza, where the need is especially urgent. It’s estimated that between 3,000 and 5,000 individuals require prosthetic solutions, yet many rehabilitation clinics have been destroyed. It is reported that only nine trained prosthetists remain in the area. This pilot project could be lifechanging for children and families affected by displacement, conflict, and limb loss.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">With each new initiative, 3DP4ME continues to prove that 3D printing can do more than make products, it can restore hope to young children.</span></p><hr><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">Want to Learn More?</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Visit</span><a href="https://www.3dp4me.org"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> www.3dp4me.org</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> to learn how you can support their mission, volunteer, or donate to help bring 3D printing technology to more children in need.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">At DELRAY Systems, we are honored to spread the word about innovators like 3DP4ME.

What started as a hobby has grown into a new professional direction, and attending RAPID+TCT felt like a milestone moment in my career journey.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Walking into Huntington Place and seeing the scale of the event, feeling the energy in the room, and connecting with others in the industry was amazing. Here are my top 5 takeaways from the event:</span></p><div style="color:inherit;"><h2 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:17pt;font-weight:700;">1. RAPID+TCT is a Massive Event with Something for Everyone</span></h2><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">I heard RAPID+TCT was a&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:700;color:inherit;">big event</span><span style="color:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;but I didn’t fully understand&nbsp;</span><span style="color:inherit;font-size:11pt;">until I was there in person. The show floor was buzzing with excitement and packed with people from all corners of the additive manufacturing world. There were aisles of exhibitors showcasing the latest in 3D printing, materials, software, and applications.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The booths were&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:700;color:inherit;">interactive</span><span style="font-size:11pt;color:inherit;">, and there was a little something for everyone. The RAPID+TCT event sparked my interest and imagination. I made a mental &quot;to print&quot; list as I explored the creative 3D printed samples. Whether you were there to check out the latest machines, ask technical questions, or just marvel at the printed parts on display, you could easily spend hours (or days) exploring and learning something new.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p></div><div></div></span><div style="color:inherit;"></div>

They had competitive, interactive games that let you earn Polymaker coins (3D printed, of course!), which you could then exchange for awesome little 3D printed prizes. I walked away with some fidget toys for my kids and a new planter for my desk.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">I also enjoyed the </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Bambu Lab</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;booth with interactive 3D printed remote control cars. I used the remote to operate a toy forklift around in a miniature 3D printed world.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">I must not forget to mention the delicious espresso bar by the <span style="font-style:italic;">Cappuccino Man</span>, compliments of </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">EOS</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">.

According to an interview with </span><span style="color:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;">3D Natives</span><span style="color:inherit;font-size:11pt;"> (2019), when Caroline was in 6th grade she decided to teach herself braille so she could read in the car without experiencing dizziness. During her studies of learning braille, she came across an article about how 3D printing could be used to create tactile images, allowing individuals who are blind to interpret visual concepts through touch. Inspired by this idea, Caroline began learning more about 3D printing technology to design and produce models, laying the foundation for what would become </span><span style="color:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">See3D.</span><span style="color:inherit;font-weight:700;font-size:20px;"><br/></span></p><p style="color:inherit;margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><p style="color:inherit;"><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><p style="color:inherit;"></p></div>

The Factor 4 shares these attributes while offering a slightly larger build volume, making it ideal for businesses requiring more capacity without compromising on space.</span></p></div>

For many individuals in this area, access to dental care is limited, and RIMOM provides essential services, including cleanings, extractions, and the fitting of dentures, at no cost to the patients.</span></div><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">This year, Asiga was asked to provide 3D printers to the event, however just providing the technology wasn’t enough. Both Cory Lambertson and Bryce Hiller of Asiga, who both previously worked as dental technicians, stepped in to support the mission.&nbsp; This project was not just about providing technology—it was about changing lives, restoring smiles, and giving people the confidence they need to improve their quality of life.</span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><br></span></div><p></p></div></div>

Asiga provided two of the advanced Ultra 3D printers and two Max 2 3D printers, which were used to produce partial dentures quickly and precisely, ensuring that patients would leave the clinic with a smile.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The process began with patients being scanned using the Trios scanner from 3Shape, creating a digital model of their teeth. These scans were sent to ClinicCare Dental’s remote design team, where digital dentures were designed. Once the designs were complete, they were sent to Asiga, where the 3D printing process began. The result - -&nbsp; custom dentures produced in record time and tailored to the specific needs of each patient.</span></p></span></div><p></p></div></div>
