Promising Designs

ROC

The revolutionary ROC pump exploits the mechanical advantages of an innovative and recently granted patented mechanical device that converts a single rotary action into multiple linear movements. Innovative features of the ROC pump include an ultra compact rotary design that produces an impressive volume of pumped air, giving far quicker inflation times and better ergonomics than conventional hand pumps, making tyre inflation easier and vastly reduced likelihood of breaking valve stems.

JawSaw

CR1

The CR1 is a carbon fiber wheelchair that is fully customizable to the user's individual specifications and preferences. The unique, dual-angle front end was designed to follow the lines of the user's body, allowing them to get closer to objects for improved accessibility and maneuverability in tight spaces. The aerodynamic tube profile and its orientation were designed to improve strength, user comfort in areas contacting the body and aesthetically to promote a sense of speed. The dual-purpose sideguards provide protection to the user while acting as a structural member for support.

Saturn 4 Ultra

This product features an innovative inclined release structure in its design. The resin tank tilts during the printing process, allowing for easier release. This design enhances the flexibility and accuracy of printing, accommodating both simple and complex geometric shapes and structures with ease. It substantially minimizes the risk of printing errors. Compared to common uplift release 3D printers on the market, this product significantly increases the printing speed by 3 times while improving print quality.

Yale Linus Smart Lock L2

Designed to increase convenience while not reducing security, the Linus L2 Smart Lock combines aesthetics, functionality, and innovation in one product. It perfectly blends with different architectural styles, from more traditional to the most contemporary. The shape and size of the product allow it to be installed across EMEIA, including Finnish doors which pose a unique design challenge. The lock has two mounting plates that allow it to be attached to many types of locks and most cylinders.

Tensegrity

Tensegrity sensor for disaster sites, which could be dropped from the sky (drone) to collect data for emergency response crews to examine crucial data such as gas leakage, images, and audios from survivors. Due to the risk, this deployable sensor is especially beneficial when it comes to unapproachable sites by humans. Multiple tensegrity modules stored in a basket under the drone with an automated deployment system are deployed on multiple sites nearby to the region of interest once the drone arrives at the location.
