Improve Accessibility, Inclusion, & Empowerment for All
Our commitment to accessibility and inclusion drives the products we create, empowering people through innovative solutions. In 2025, we contributed to projects that enhance mobility, improve energy efficiency, and support life-saving medical advancements, all designed to make a meaningful impact.
DESIGNING WITH IMPACT:
The products we develop are the core demonstration of our public benefit. In 2025, we had the opportunity to work on some incredible projects with ambitious impact goals:
LUCI SPV - mobility solution for helping people navigate airports and hospitals
Toddler Mobility Trainer - first of its kind 3D printed mobility trainer for toddlers with developmental issues
Peak+ - By precooling the outdoor air before it enters the condenser coils, the PEAK+ system reduces compressor energy usage up to 30%, without adding any humidity to the indoor air."... that is from their website. Also, its an accepted standard that for every 1°C decrease in intake air temperature, there is a 1% to 2% increase in chiller efficiency. PEAK+ claims over 5000 tons of CO2 emissions avoided with their installations thus far, which is like taking 1000 gasoline cars off the roads or the emissions from powering 1000 averages homes for a year.
34 Lives - This year, we had the privilege of contributing to a project for 34 Lives that focused on extending the lifespan and viability of organs intended for transplant, helping save lives, minimize losses, and improve efficiency across transplant supply chains.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT:
Our mission is the underlying guidance for all of our business decisions. Finding meaningful products and development partners isn’t an accident, it is a commitment.
