By adjusting the contours, it is possible to generate a seat that controls the pressure generated on the skin or controls the posture of the individual in the seat. After the patient is positioned on the foam, the system is activated and the desired support characteristics are obtained in the foam. The needed support is then stored in the foam geometry. The foam is cut resulting in a foam seat with the geometry needed to create the desired support characteristics. The seat can then be fitted in a wheelchair or other base and covered with a wear cover.
