Connector

Renier’s trailer electrical connector kept unplugging when driving on dirt roads. His solution was to add a rotating cam. Our industrial designer, just needed to smooth out the rough edges, CAD it up, make a 3D print and explain the invention in photorealistic posters. We love the product. But, we enjoyed working with Renier even more.

Ice Tray

Clint wished to develop an ice tray that, when stacked, could be filled by cascading water from the top tray all the way down to the bottom layer. The trays are releasably secured to each other, with a simple mechanism for releasing the top tray. Various concept stacking mechanisms were considered before reverting to the idea originally provided by Clint. The 3D print had to be scaled down by 10 percent to fit on the 3D nylon printer bed.

Inflatable Earphone

This is one of the most exciting products we have seen. One to watch! And, our patent search showed that the inflatable loop is patentable. Lebo is young, hip, listens to music and plays footie. He found that available earphones did not secure sufficiently to the ear during sports. Still uncertain whether the concept works, we created a functional prototype. It works! … extremely well. A proper, snug fit every time. Lebo’s idea is now being transformed in to a “must have”, high end product.

Pap Cooker

Babsy wishes to take the labour out of making pap. His goal is to develop a pap cooker that automatically mixes the correct ratio of pap and water, and stirs the mixture while applying the correct amount of heat. Our role was to communicate his dream to potential backers. We hope to see this great product in the shops one day.
