A SolidWorks Case Study
BioDapt, founded by powersports athlete Mike Schultz, designs high‑performance prosthetics for amputees who want to remain active in extreme sports. Facing challenges such as managing shock and shear, creating reliable suspension, and keeping devices lightweight yet strong, BioDapt uses SolidWorks CAD and simulation tools to drive its engineering and accelerate development.
Using SolidWorks, BioDapt rapidly iterates and validates designs in simulation before building prototypes, enabling integrated shock‑absorption and articulation that withstand dynamic loads. The SolidWorks‑enabled workflow has helped BioDapt bring durable, sport‑ready prosthetics to market, reduce physical prototyping, and support Schultz’s mission to get amputees back into high‑impact competition and recreation.
