Red Dot Best of the Best 2026

A titanium wheelchair printed to your body, not your size.

KIVRO scans your seated anatomy, models the frame around your own propulsion mechanics, and prints it in one continuous piece of aerospace-grade titanium. No welds. No standard sizes.

We'll send your configuration and one email when the Kickstarter goes live. Nothing else.

Why titanium, why printed

A welded frame is a series of compromises. A printed one isn't.

Continuous structure

Welds are where frames concentrate stress and eventually fail. Additive manufacturing removes them entirely — load paths run uninterrupted through the frame, and geometry is no longer limited to what a tube can be bent into.

Detail of a KIVRO printed titanium frame

Rigid where it counts, quiet where it doesn't

Titanium's strength-to-weight ratio means less material for more rigidity, and it damps vibration in a way aluminium does not. Corrosion and fatigue resistance keep that feel intact for years, not seasons.

A KIVRO wheelchair in active everyday use

From scan to structure

Four steps between your body and your frame

01

Anatomical body scan

A high-resolution scan captures seated posture, alignment and measurements to the millimetre. No tape measure, no approximation.

02

Digital frame modelling

Seat dimensions, back angle, camber and centre-of-gravity are engineered around your scan and your propulsion mechanics.

03

Additive titanium printing

The finished model is printed in aerospace-grade titanium, allowing structural optimisation a welded frame can't reach.

04

Finishing and inspection

Every frame is finished, structurally inspected and configured before it ships.

Be first in the fitting queue.

Places are limited by scanning capacity, not by stock. Early backers are scheduled first.

Questions

How does the body scan work if I'm not near you?

NEEDS ANSWER FROM CLIENT — describe how a remote backer is scanned, whether travel or an appointment is required, and what happens after.

What if the finished chair doesn't fit correctly?

Every KIVRO is covered by our Satisfaction Guarantee. A return can be requested within 14 days of delivery, with all original components included, and a full refund is issued after the chair is received and inspected.

Is KIVRO a certified medical device?

The KIVRO frame is engineered to meet ISO 7176-8, the international strength, impact and fatigue standard for wheelchairs. CONFIRM WITH CLIENT before adding any further certification claims.
