Aloi

Aloi is a growing active wheelchair for children with infantile cerebral palsy. The aim is to create a contemporary design of a wheelchair for children that meets their needs and grows with them.
The wheelchair is designed in a way which allows the wheelchair to change in seat width, seat height and seat depth and to grow with the child. In manufacturing, existing processes are reconsidered and modern technologies are used instead of conventional manufacturing processes. Aloi is made entirely of 3D printing filament. By using these materials, the wheelchair can be offered at a lower price and lighter than conventional children's wheelchairs of competitors. The concept is part of an environmentally friendly system and the guidelines of the Circular Economy are conceived.
This project is intended to create ideas for rethinking approaches of existing manufacturing processes in the medical industry.
