Sligo seating specialist, LCS, has produced a world-first 3D printed custom cushion with ventilation system for wheelchair users.
Following successful tests with wheelchair users, the Grange-based company is now working with partners in the UK and Europe to bring the cushion to a wider customer base internationally.
The WheelAir Custom Cushion combines a 3D-printed lattice structure with the company’s WheelAir ventilation system to provide an active airflow in the cushion, addressing micro-climate.
The custom cushion uses programmable foam to ensure maximum comfort, allowing customers to choose not only the shape and contours of the cushion, but also the density.
Each cushion is printed from the scanned shape of the user, ensuring it is entirely suited to their needs.
Founded in 2008, LCS is an industry leader in the manufacture of custom-made seating solutions for wheelchair users. LCS also works with the world’s leading wheelchair providers to offer a wide range of high-quality seating and accessories for the wheelchair user.
