Unlimited Tomorrow

Unlimited Tomorrow combines 3D scanning, 3D printing, and machine learning to create custom, advanced prosthetic limbs.

The market for robotic prosthetics is currently valued at nearly $800 million.

That’s due to an estimated 30 million people around the world who need prosthetic limbs, braces, or other mobility devices.

Yet less than 20% of these people actually have the prosthetics they need. The problem is that modern prosthetic devices are too expensive. They can cost up to $100,000, even when they don’t incorporate advanced movement controls or custom fittings.

Unlimited Tomorrow has created a solution to this problem. In short, it combines 3D scanning, 3D printing, and machine learning to create custom, affordable prosthetic limbs to those in need.

Here’s how it works:

Unlimited Tomorrow temporarily provides amputees with 3D scanners and computers. The scanners use a person's body shape and dimensions to create a custom prosthetic design.

The design is then printed using a network of 3D printers around the world. Finally, the prosthetic is sold to the amputee at a fraction of the cost of traditional prosthetics.

Base units are $5,000 for children and adults. When a child outgrows his or her device, Unlimited Tomorrow charges $2,500 for a new device, which requires an additional scan.

Each prosthetic is colored to match the person’s skin. It features individual finger movement and "force monitor feedback" (this means the device monitors the force exerted on an object and communicates with the amputee using vibrations).

The prosthetics have realistic fingernails, are muscle controlled, and have a battery life of up to four days.

Unlimited Tomorrow has filed a provisional patent for its upper extremity prosthesis.

Since 2016, the company has generated nearly $120,000 in revenue. The majority of this revenue has come from speaking engagements and media presentations from the company’s Founder, Easton LaChapelle.

However, Unlimited Tomorrow will begin accepting orders for its device in fall 2018.

LaChapelle previously worked at NASA, specializing in robotics. In 2017, he was invited by Microsoft to work at the company's "black ops" prototype lab. It was there he developed Unlimited Tomorrow's first prosthetic device for a 10-year-old girl.

Along with Microsoft, LaChapelle's work gained the attention of renowned entrepreneur Tony Robbins, who has since invested in the company.

Team Background

Easton LaChapelle - Founder & CEO

Easton has been interested in robotics since he was a child.

At the age of 14, he created a robotic hand out of fishing line and electrical tubing. The device was so successful, it was featured in an article in Popular Mechanics magazine.

Easton formerly served as a mechanical engineer for NASA.

In addition, he was the Co-Founder of Impyrium, a company that produced sensors and control systems for unmanned technology devices like drones.
