B2B Tech Blog: Medical Inventor 3D Prints Her Own Assistive Tech

Authored a guest blog on the Markforged website. They are a global 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, company. In 2018, Robin Brunnquell wheeled into the GSC office on a mission. She knew she needed stronger, customizable parts printed to drastically improve the functionality lacking in her assistive chair. She knew that GSC had the creative resources to help; it would only be a matter of time before her innovative ideas turned into reality. Robin has complex medical and mobility needs, stemming from respiratory issues and neuromuscular dysfunction. Her chair in its former state lacked important assistive features. She needed her chair to be compact, portable, and weather-resistant. A chair that could easily carry a ventilator, its battery supply, and other emergency supplies.‍
