We choose the **Left** arm option and input our **measurements** in the **Parameter window**. LetвЂ™s assume weвЂ™ll be making a **left** handed device and our measurements are: TAKE NOTE thats the AFFECTED arm you are building a device for not the NON-AFFECTED arm the other measurements are taken from. > The circumference of the AFFECTED upper arm, measured from the middle of the upper arm Shown in the Diagram as **measurement A**. Shown in the Diagram as **measurement B**. > The length of the NON-AFFECTED forarm as measured from the inside fold of the elbow to the wrist. Shown in the Diagram as **measurement C**.

> The length of the NON-AFFECTED hand as measured from the wrist to the end of the longest finger. The instructions show us to measure these 3 areas of the recipient. For this example weвЂ™ll be using the (wiki:#). Make sure to follow instructions for the device youвЂ™ll be manufacturing as measurements and parameters will be different. OpenSCAD can be intimidating for first time users, however we only need to focus on a few key areas, specifically **Model/Device Parameters**, **Preview Window** and **Shortcuts**.

You can download OpenSCAD from their homepage () This allows a few user provided **parameters** (in this case measurements taken from a recipient) to be used to **automatically** and **intelligently scale parts** to match the recipient ready for printing, instead of ***manually*** scaling and adjusting parts using photo references in 3D software. OpenSCAD is a powerful, free and open source modelling tool that allows making adaptable, **parametric** models.
