  • Designed by Nils Sorger and @WertelOberfell, the +/- Brace is a user-centered, fully customisable elbow brace, produced by combining 3D printing and laser-cutting technology. The brace relieves elbow pain, promotes comfort and reduces risk of injury and irritation during demanding physical tasks or sport activities. It is made using additive 3D printing and subtractive laser-cutting, two technologies which make easy customisation and on-demand manufacturing possible.
