Magic Wheelchair reveal at Spfld Museum of the motorcycle costume built by the SOLIDWORKS team for Ben!

Ben’s motorcycle costume reveal would not have been possible without the hard work of dozens of people. The build team, as always, went above and beyond: Chinloo Lama (team leader, detailing artist, vinyl decal whisperer), Sal Lama (foam and frame fabricator), Annie Cheung (team foreman), Albert Hernandez (body designer and magnet magician), Nicolas Lefebvre (electronics hacking and professional cable labeler), Gabe Enright (lighting effects design and fabrication), David Law (hands-on, master of none), Stephen Endersby (dashboard designer and plastic pipe connector), Julian Galgoczy (body prep/sander), Kevin Berni (audio and special effects), Heather Snider (team seamstress, a snarky sew and sew who kept everyone in stitches), and Madhuvamsi Karicharla (3DEXPERIENCE Lab intern, kept an eye on all the 3D prints).

There are also the people who set up and documented the reveal: Chloe Trepanier (reveal organizer), Robert Gilliam (photography and video), Sara Zuckerman (project documentarian), and Larissa Murray and everyone at the Springfield Museums. Larissa and her lovely staff made the reveal the special event it was.
