3D-Printed Wheelchairs

Benjamin Hubert's Mobile Chairs Can be Mass-Produced with 3D-Printing Tech

Benjamin Hubert is a creative that has achieved a first in the design industry by creating the first ever 3D-printed mobile chair that can be mass-produced thanks to its tech-enabled engineering. The 'Go' wheelchair provides a modern, mobile and simplistic design that can be used for a variety of medical purposes to help consumers remain mobile while undergoing an injury. Each 'Go' wheelchair is personalized to the user, featuring a seat and foot bay that is customized to the person's size and height for a much more form-fitting sitting experience.

The 'Go' wheelchair was designed with the hope of improving the quality of mobile seats for consumers that require them on a daily basis. The chair features personalized components that can be rendered using biometric engineering and 3D-printing to create a much more tailored seat for long-term users.
