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 […]

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 […]

Inflatable Earphone

He found that available earphones did not secure sufficiently to the ear during sports. Still uncertain whether the concept works, […]

The GTool Corner Tool simply resets corners deformed by impact. Instead of replacing […]

After patenting his invention (albeit not through IdeaNav patents), Hercules visited us to create a prototype. We sintered the frame out of sintered nylon and created a soft […]

Board Game

Jackie had a great idea for an educational board game. All we had to do was design the board and develop characters to realise her concept.

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 […]
