Our Technology
Behind each Rove chair are some of the most cutting-edge technologies. World-class engineering, handmade in Melbourne for unrivalled fit and performance.
Titanium + Carbon Fibre
The unique combination of titanium and carbon fibre provides the ultimate strong, lightweight wheelchair without compromising on durability. The stiff, lightweight properties of carbon fibre provide optimal performance and pushing efficiency. Strategically placed titanium in high-impact areas ensures utmost reliability.
Titanium Additive Manufacturing
3D printing technology enables custom geometry frames with ease. Aerospace-grade titanium (Ti6Al4V) provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The design flexibility allows precise material thickness control thicker in high-stress zones, minimised everywhere else to optimise mass. Internal lattice structures are only possible using additive manufacturing.
Carbon Fibre Tube
Five times stronger than steel and twice as stiff. Our carbon fibre tubes are produced using filament winding continuous strands wound under tension at specified angles, impregnated in a resinous matrix, then cured using pressure and heat into a strong, durable composite material.
Quality Testing
Quality control is essential across both R&D and production. We implement material tensile testing for each wheelchair produced, frame stiffness testing, and accelerated fatigue testing for mechanisms. All chairs are built to Australian Standards (AS NZS 3695.1-2011) and rated for 110kg.
Precision Engineering
Our titanium lugs are produced via Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) titanium powder particles fused by high-power fibre lasers. Parts are heat treated for optimal mechanical performance then CNC machined for precision fitment, including the flipchip interface.
