Easton LaChappelle (born November 29, 1996) is an robotics engineer and entrepreneur. He is the founder and CEO of Unlimited Tommorow.

A company that aims to use 3D printing, 3D scanning, and artificial intelligence to create prosthetic limbs for amputees.

Easton LaChappelle grew up in Mancos, Colorado. He did not have much interest in the classes he was taking in school. As an alternative, he decided to learn more about Robotics online, particularly on YouTube and conversing with people on Skype.

At 14 years old, Easton made his first mechanical hand controlled by a glove.

He built it out of Legos, fishing wire and surgical tubing. He continued to improved the design with 3D-printed parts. Eventually, he turned his project from a hand to an arm using airplane motors and fishing line.

After building the arm from fingers to shoulder, he entered a regional science fair full robotic arm.

The project led him to an international science fair, where he came in second place in the engineering category.

At the science fair, he had an encounter with a 7-year-old girl, whose prosthetic arm costed $80,000 and need to be replaced when she outgrew it; the arm he built costed him a couple hundred dollars to make.

This inspired him to turn his prototype into an affordable technology.

In 2013, LaChappellebegan working at NASA as a mechanical engineer. He worked on theRobonaut project developing a new telerobotic interface.

In 2013, Easton LaChappelle gave a TED Talkon3D printing and how it could be used to create prosthetic limbs for amputees. Tony Robbins*reached out toEaston LaChappelle

With Robbins' help, Easton LaChappelle founded Unlimited Tomorrow February 2014; LaChappelle was 17 years old at the time. Since then, he’s been able to work with

In October 2017, LaChappelle partnered with Microsoftto develop a prosthetic arm for a 9-year-old girl.
