MPOWRD Winter Week 4: Sponsor Selection

lawrence.hipolito Project Achievements, 2016-2017 Manual Patient Operated Wheelchair Rehabilitation Device

This week, we selected the sponsors that we needed to manufacture MPOWRD.

For the tube bending of the frame, we chose Tube Technology. This small company helped create the lever arms. Due to the very small size of the company, there was very limited information on the company history available on the Internet.

For the power coating frame, we chose Precision Powder in Santa Ana. They are a full-service job shop providing high quality metal finishing services to customers throughout southern California. Power coating, is a solve-free combination of organic and in-organic materials applied by spraying an air and powder mixture through an electrically charged nozzle. The powder on the part is then placed in the oven where it melts and creates an attractive finish.
