Last year Root3 Labs experimented with multi-material 3D-printing to deliver prototypes that simulated a button and gasket that would be overmolded in production. We were very happy with the results and our client was quite pleased that we were able to quickly iterate...
Building good prototypes often requires setting up fixtures. The workshop has been growing this year; we have a new CNC Router, which helps us build accurate fixtures and components from wood, plastic, and aluminum. In this video, we're CNC routing part of a fixture...
At a recent 3D Maryland “3D Innovators Group” event, I presented a few short case studies of recent projects to describe how I’ve used 3D printing as both a tool to evaluate a design and as a finished demonstration prototype.
Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners at the 2014 InvestMaryland Challenge, including InnoVital Systems, recipient of our Design Services Award!
Root3 Labs℠ is excited to be part of the new National Capital Consortium for Pediatric Device Innovation (NCC-PDI), formed through a $3.5 million award over 5 years from the FDA to the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Medical Center.
Looking for motorcyclists to fill out a brief product research survey below regarding rider comfort. Please fill it out and then share it to improve our data.
Made a little art for the office recently. The mosaic glass was hand laid and kiln fired. The truss-style frame is 3D printed polycarbonate to mount the 12" x 12" glass on the wall without covering too much of it.
In June, the Baltimore Hardware Design Engineers group I organize went on a tour of Danko Arlington in NW Baltimore with John Danko, President of the company. They are an aluminum foundry making cast parts primarily for the defense industry so prevalent in our region...
Root3 Labs and collaborating university hospital surgeons have been awarded a $50,000 TEDCO grant to commercialize a novel medical device. The project will develop and test prototypes of a patent-pending expandable endoscopic surgical instrument, advancing the technology toward a commercial product.
