Design Pathway and Process

The design process and pathway was highly collaborative throughout the entire project timeline. Every team member included their input and helped narrow down and develop the project. At the start of the project, the entire team had an interest in 3D-printing and medical devices and was eventually narrowed down into the current device which aids manual wheelchair users. The following sections describe the motivation, stakeholder engagement, context, and project organization that has been developed to achieve the current device prototype.
