Empowering Accessible Fishing with 3D Printing Innovation

At Tempus 3D, we’re proud to support meaningful innovation through additive manufacturing. In this video, Justin Johnson, a Selkirk College graduate and research assistant at the Selkirk Technology Access Centre, showcases a 3D-printed adaptive fishing rod holder designed for individuals with limited or no hand function. Developed in collaboration with Fishing Forever and the BC Wildlife Federation, this inclusive design uses clever mechanics to make fishing more accessible—no grip strength required.

Watch how 3D printing helps turn a class project into a province-wide initiative that’s making a real impact across British Columbia.
