Case study overview
Dynamic Controls
Wheelchair controller design beginning from supplying initial concept sketches, 3D models, and on through prototyping, assembly and supporting production of die-cast and injection-moulded components.
Develop a new version of wheelchair control system that carries on look of existing product line, while providing more keypad area, modular rear switch options, improved assembly methods and reducing the profile to make it appear smaller and more streamlined.
Developed a new shape that still had a family look to existing products, but with a much larger keypad area.
Developed a rear hatch to allow for three different modular versions. Modeled design in SolidWorks and Pro/E and worked cloesly with overseas toolers into production.
The solution extended the life and refreshed the look of the existing product family, while providing key benefits in the larger keypad and modular functions.
"Last week was the USA Medtrade show. I received several comments about the style and feel of the G90 controller. It was received very well and customers (and competitors!) commented on the 'feel', simplicity and style.
"Thank you for all of your efforts, it helped make it easy for me to promote! Cheers!" - Antony Morris, Marketing Director, Dynamic Controls
