Sponsored by the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, a team of SOLIDWORKS employees has been building epic costumes for kiddos in wheelchairs in support of the non-profit organization, Magic Wheelchair since 2018. Magic Wheelchair's mission is to bring communities together to create unforgettable moments for children around the world by transforming their wheelchairs into magic. In this session, we'll discuss the different phases of the build from design to fabrication and how we utilized the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SOLIDWORKS applications and various manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing to bring the costumes to life.
