SmartGroup now offers 3D printing of assistive technology and precise 3D scanning in Norway through a partnership with Teknovo. Together, we make it possible to digitise existing equipment and produce customised parts with high accuracy.
This enables us to offer more precise customisation, faster development and better functional solutions for individuals, companies, therapists and organisations in Norway.
Customised aids with 3D scanning
Many assistive devices, sports equipment and technical solutions need to be customised to existing equipment or individual needs. With the 3D scanning we can reach:
- Digitise physical objects with high precision
- Create accurate digital models of existing equipment
- Further develop or customise parts without original drawings
Examples of this can be:
- Bicycle handlebars, frame parts or grips
- Adaptation of assistive devices to existing wheelchairs or bicycles
- Spare parts that are no longer produced
3D scanning provides a precise starting point for further design, simulation and production.
3D printing in the right materials - from prototype to finished part
SmartGroup has extensive experience in developing assistive technology where 3D printing is used in both prototyping and finished components, including through products such as SmartBrake - an electronic braking system where 3D-printed parts are included in development and production. In combination with Teknovo, we now have access to:
- More production methods
- A wider range of materials
- Better control of strength, flexibility and surface
This makes it possible to produce:
- Customised assistive products
- Functional components for everyday use
- Small and medium-sized series
All customised user, load and application.
Customisation of assistive technology in practice
For users of assistive technology fit and precision are crucial. Small deviations can result in reduced function, discomfort or increased wear and tear.
By combining:
- 3D scanning of existing equipment or user interfaces
- CAD development
- 3D printing in the right material
we can create solutions that:
- Fits exactly to existing layouts
- Improves ergonomics and usability
- Provides more robust and durable products
This is particularly relevant within:
- Mobility and cycling
- Adaptive sports and leisure solutions
- Technical aids
Who is this suitable for?
We're working on:
- Private individuals in need of customised solutions
- Companies that develop products or need specialised parts
- Organisations and professional environments within assistive technology and rehabilitation
The projects can be anything from simple single components to more complex development paths.
Short path from idea to finished solution
With increased capacity within 3D scanning, CAD and 3D printing SmartGroup now offers:
- Faster development
- Better technical precision
- More targeted customisation
All from a single source in Norway.
