Our client recognized that a large number of senior golfers were abandoning the game because back injuries were just making it too painful. Having to bend down below their feet to retrieve their ball from the cup, repair divots and mark their balls was the cause. We developed a putter grip that hides multiple tools that eliminate the need to bend down. The patented mechanism dispenses and retrieves a ball mark, grabs the ball and even repairs the green.

Family picnics outside are fun except when flies join the party. We designed this toy gun that shoots regular table salt to take care of the problem in a fun way. We also developed a laser sight accessory making everyone at the picnic a marksman.

Portland Oregon is home to Leatherman, Gerber, Benchmade and other knife companies so it was no surprise when we were asked to develop a specialized multi-tool that had an internal spring assist mechanism.

Our client wanted to develop the ultimate motorcycle jacket that would include handles on each side that a passenger could grip and hold onto. We made multiple configurations out of clay then laser scanned the winner and evolved into the stylized form you see here.

Scooters and skateboards take a phenomenal beating. Serious amateurs will grind through a deck in a month. We designed and revised this professional model several times before we arrived at a geometry that is stronger and stiffer than anything else on the market.

Our client wanted to take advantage of the millions and millions of Chuck Taylor All Star shoes first introduced in the 1920’s. We designed a pop-in eyelet that lets anyone customize their look.

Changing a note from a C to a C+ requires a very precise mechanical mechanism. Making sure it can continue to do so for decades without a noticeable change in feel to a musician is a daunting challenge. The resulting lever assembly is not only reliable it looks beautiful when mounted.

Serious golfers know that about 40% of the strokes on a golf course are made with their putter. You can get away with renting a set of clubs if you are traveling but having a putter you feel comfortable can mean the difference between a mediocre round and a great one. Our client challenged us to develop a top of the line travel putter that could be broken down and fit in carryon luggage. Precision joints and alignment features mean that when assembled it feels like the best putters on the market.

Showing concepts alongside items for scale makes it easier to visualize before the first prototype is made.

These complex wheel assemblies were designed to maximize manufacturing efficiency. The end product was a full set of 3D models and detail drawings that allowed our client to seek out manufacturing partners in several different areas of the world they intended to sell in.

Mortises and tenons to allows seasonal expansion and contraction. Half-blind dovetailed drawers ensure it will last for generations.

Cordless power tools have large capacity battery packs. With this handy adapter those same packs can be used to inflate tires and rafts, run a blender or auxiliary lights.

Complex geometries coupled with materials of varying stiffness allow a very natural fin action which reduces diver fatigue. Engineering simulation software allows multiple variations to be tested before prototyping and tooling to ensure that just the right combination of power and comfort is achieved.

Condensation and icing on goggle lens have been problems since the first pairs were made decades ago. Now you can ski or snowmobile with clear vision due to the electrical resistance heated lens and Li-Ion battery pack.

Additional product versions can be easily made by simply changing colors. CAD rendered images can be used to visualize and create marketing content.

Classic road bike handle bars require the rider to be in a forward posture that is great for eliminating wind drag but tiring on the lower back. By clamping extensions onto the existing handles riders can take periodic breaks and pedal upright.

One of the most rewarding things about developing commercially successful products is seeing them in your day to day travels. We happened on this artist at the coast using our trailer for a completely unexpected purpose.

Our customer needed an environmentally sealed solution for their wireless rehabilitation product. The nearly invisible mechanical packaging allows a patient to wear the electronic sensor package without affecting their gait.

Birthday Pie? Have your pie and candles too. This injection molded candle holder means you don’t need a cake to celebrate.

We created an adapter that could couple any phone to any spotting scope or binoculars, allowing the user to take stunning telephoto pictures. Anodized machined aluminum body, laser etched logo, and a patent pending compression ring system are the reason the Novagrade ® brand is a worldwide success.
