Indonesia has a large amputee population and persons with disabilities often face barriers in education, employment and social participation. Many of them face the complex challenge of having functional or aesthetic prosthetics that are affordable and inexpensive, and easy to repair or modify. This research examines the potential of combining 3D printing, open source design, penta-helix collaboration, and circular economy as a solution to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities in Indonesia. The research method used is design thinking and participatory design. Data collection through stakeholder interviews and review of existing literature indicates that 3D printing technology can be used to make tools that are customizable, affordable, reduce costs, increase the availability of these products, and make these tools accessible. A circular economy approach can ensure sustainable and efficient use of resources, create opportunities for persons with disabilities to participate in the economy independently, and demonstrate the potential for collaboration between stakeholders in the public and private sectors to meet the needs of persons with disabilities. The research results show that a combination of 3D printing, open source design, penta-helix collaboration, and circular economy can provide innovative solutions for people with disabilities in Indonesia.
