VIABILITY AND VISIBILITY OF PROPOSED SOLUTION
The necessity for rehabilitation devices and wheelchairs in canine medical services ensures the market will welcome the device.
The cheap and accessible materials that are used in the wheelchair ensure that production and recreation of the device will be easy.
3D Printed DIY parts amplify customization options.
Moving parts within the design are simple and easy to manufacture.
PROPOSED MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION
The product is best distributed as a DIY product. The limited and specific client base does not make the product feasible for general store product distribution. Rather, the product would serve best as a custom made object for dogs in need. The cheap and accessible materials ensure anyone in need can replicate the device. 3D modeled parts can be made open-source and public online.
