Made to Order. Made to Last.

Each cushion is printed from the scanned shape of the user, captured using a standard moulding bag. Our systems combine state-of-the-art technology with the tried and true LCS Moulding Approach.

Our programmable foam system lets you customise not only the shape and contours of the cushion, but also the density. Allowing for the choice of 5 levels of softness across multiple zones on the same cushion, printed in one piece.

Key Benefits:

Addresses positioning through custom contouring
Provides pressure care via Programmable Foam

ISO Results

The graphs below illustrate the results of rigorous testing conducted at the University of Pittsburgh to ISO standard.

The difference in surface temperature and humidity after a period of 3 hours use between the WheelAir Cushion and a number of similar products available on the market is staggering.

The other six cushions in the sample were three cushion models tested with two different covers – a standard stretch cover and a microclimate management cover (“w/MCM”). See a full breakdown here and here.

As you can see, the WheelAir Cushion maintains a far lower level of humidity and surface temperature when subjected to the same conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D-Printed Custom Seating?

3D-Printed Custom Seating is a personalised wheelchair seating solution created from a 3D scan of the individual user. The seating is designed to provide tailored contouring, support and positioning while incorporating an open lattice structure for improved breathability.

How does 3D-Printed Custom Seating help manage heat and moisture?

The open 3D-printed lattice structure, combined with WheelAir ventilation, allows air to move through the seating interface. This active airflow helps manage heat and moisture around the user’s body.

Is 3D-Printed Custom Seating made for each individual user?

Yes. Each seating system is individually designed using a 3D scan of the user. This allows the contours and support areas to be customised to their specific anatomical and postural requirements, in addition to the choice density.

Can different levels of support be incorporated into 3D-Printed Custom Seating?

Yes. LCS Programmable Foam technology can provide up to five levels of softness across different zones of the seating. This allows the seating to be configured to provide different levels of support and pressure management where required.

Can 3D-Printed Custom Seating be integrated with WheelAir?

Yes. 3D-Printed Custom Seating can be integrated with the WheelAir ventilation system to provide active airflow through the seating interface. This combination provides personalised seating alongside active heat and moisture management.

What types of wheelchair can use 3D-Printed Custom Seating?

3D-Printed Custom Seating can be designed to suit a wide range of manual and powered wheelchair configurations. Each system is individually designed to work with the user’s wheelchair, posture, positioning requirements and clinical needs.
