A bit of motivation for us all today!

No matter your idea, never say no to giving it a try - who knows where it may lead?!

3D printing is so much more than you might think! 

Though it can be used for simple design it has also stretched the boundaries of science beyond what we once thought possible. 

In South Korea scientists used a 3D printer to build a robot that can climb walls. Mimicking the movements of a gecko this robot is able to climb vertically.

Have an idea you didn’t think was possible? Maybe we can make it happen!

Still over the moon after receiving this award for our work on the Arctic Band. 

This product was designed to help cool our frontline workers struggling with overheating during the pandemic.

Its potential doesn’t stop there and we’re excited to see how it develops in the future!

Did you know that the tea bag was invented by accident? 

In 1908, Thomas Sullivan sent out tea samples in small silk bags and many of the customers assumed they were to be immersed in the cup. 

It was only in 1920 that tea bags hit the commercial market. 

What’s our point? Whether you have a great idea or just that niggling feeling that something could work, come and talk to us. 

You never know, it could be the greatest thing since the tea bag!

What a breath of fresh air to go back to traditional woodwork to produce these awards for Eoin O' Toole in Shannon Rowing Club Limerick The combination of White Oak with a lacquer finish really pops against the Shannon Rowing Club colours!

So you know what we do but what’s our process? 

When we engage with a client we need to have an understanding of the goals and objectives of the project.

Once we’ve established that we can help, we get to work on the 4 steps as identified in the graph.

Want to kick start your idea and make it a reality? Get in touch.

The creative mind is capable of considering and accepting contradictory information in the search for the unknown. The investigation into this information is a means of paving new paths to discovery.

The Global Sports Technology Market is expected to grow by $ 24.56 bn during 2022-2026 so it’s not surprising that it is one of our main client industries. 

The advancements in 3D printing and prototyping in the last few years have been absolutely phenomenal and it’s only set to get better. 

Watch this space 🚀
