Case Study: May We Help achieves faster, cost-effective custom assistive-device solutions for special-needs clients with SOLIDWORKS

May We Help Uses SolidWorks to Help Special Needs Clients Find Their Passion

May We Help is a Cincinnati-based nonprofit of more than 70 volunteers that designs and builds custom assistive devices for people with special needs. Facing projects that require close collaboration with clients and therapists and fast, low-cost iteration, May We Help relies on SOLIDWORKS to share ideas, tweak CAD models with direct client input, and coordinate design work across its multidisciplinary volunteer team.

SOLIDWORKS enabled the team to model and refine devices in 3D, avoiding multiple physical prototypes and significantly cutting completion time and material costs. Using SOLIDWORKS, May We Help designed an aqua-walker for pool-based rehabilitation—going from first visit to finished device in 90 days with no alterations needed to the first physical build—demonstrating faster delivery, lower cost, and first-time-right results.
