- Pawsthesis, based in Friedberg, was founded in summer 2021 by Simon Schuß and Dominik Hogen after a university 3D-printing seminar.
- Six 3D printers operate around the clock in a basement workshop, with nearly all prosthetic parts printed in-house while screws and textiles are sourced externally.
- About 780 dogs have received aids so far, and the company also fits cows, horses, alpacas and other species with prostheses, orthoses, or front-wheeled carts.
- Prices start at €1,600 for full prostheses and €700 for orthoses, a front cart is roughly €1,300, and customers worldwide can receive customized, 3D-printed devices.
The two are very customer-oriented and change everything until it really fits. They are the best thing that could have happened to us.— Renate Betz, Gulliver's owner, on Pawsthesis's customer focus and impact.
