Pablo needed a solution for his mechanised chair at home that would allow him to get from one floor to another. The backrest of the chair only reached halfway down his back, leaving his head unsupported, causing insecurity and the need for a family member to support his head when moving around. This situation, in addition to being uncomfortable, implied a potential risk to her well-being.
Upon reaching us, the Additium3D team assessed the case and we decided to employ a customised solution using advanced technology. To do this, we used a Scantech iReal 2e scanner to obtain a detailed digital model of Pablo's head and the contours of his chair. This allowed us to design a bracket that not only fit the chair perfectly, but also provided the necessary support for Pablo's head.
The solution was a complete success. Paul can now use his mechanised chair with complete confidence, knowing that his head is fully supported, eliminating the risk and discomfort he previously experienced. Paul did, with his usual grace, the best possible summary:
"Very comfortable and safe. And thanks to Additium3D, very good".
At Additium3D, we are committed to the well-being of people, and one of the areas where our technology has a more direct impact is in personalised orthopaedics. Recently, we had the opportunity to work on a project that filled us with satisfaction: the case of Pablo, a 28-year-old young man with a disease that affects his mobility and makes him dependent for any movement.
We used the iReal 2e scanner to obtain a detailed digital model of Pablo's head and chair.
Based on the scan, we created a specific design so that the support would adapt to both Pablo's morphology and the contours of the chair.
To guarantee the strength and durability of the support, we chose to print it in Nylon 12, a material known for its high rigidity and strength. SLS technology allowed us to create a support without the need for additional structures, ensuring an exceptional final finish and perfect geometric precision for this type of mounting.
