As the head of the CAD department I must ensure that we take into account the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Barrier-Free Design requirements, which ensure a safe and inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your project moves to CAD we use your architectural plans to input the information into specialized programs and create a 3D model of your office. We then scale our 3D theming to fit perfectly into your office as well as design the internal steel structure for securing the theming in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"596\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cad-submarine.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cad-submarine.jpg 596w, https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cad-submarine-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process is key to creating a design that is not only fun and engaging, but also functional and safe for kids.

We use the term \u201ckid proof\u201d when approaching a new design. What can they touch, what can they climb on, and how will we make it safe for them? When it comes to quality, the internal structures and mechanical design of our sculptures plays a role that is just as critical as the sculpted surface and colorful paint job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured that your 3D theming has been engineered inside and out to stand the test of time\u2026 and testing by your patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/contact\">Contact Imagination Design Studios (IDS)<\/a>&nbsp;to get started transforming your office from a mundane to magical patient experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hs-cta-embed hs-cta-simple-placeholder hs-cta-embed-155260532349\"\n  style=\"max-width:100%; max-height:100%; width:1080px;height:350px\" data-hubspot-wrapper-cta-id=\"155260532349\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/web-interactives\/public\/v1\/track\/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLIBvb5QBrwoJMg%2Bp5PwAXZhhFGY7Gzx8ItEkjt5LCIwwlr1RDY%2BMsXcpVXLx25ezfjGmA%2BxI3w24f%2BUjOv9b2NkNj5nkCd1bG19VCxiv%2BZ6KrRQ0VxH345U0RFJTlYxmXbw2snwuOYqjrCsdCq%2BoAr7fFUP%2B3ocmUECiQdRAurq&#038;webInteractiveContentId=155260532349&#038;portalId=7692378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"CTA-blog-book-request-white-1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/7692378\/interactive-155260532349.png\" style=\"height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: fill\"\n      onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>From our artists to our engineers, we pride ourselves on the level of expertise each team member brings to the projects we create.
