It can be hard to schedule for creativity, and we will not let time management stand in the way of the innovative itch when it suddenly strikes. It’s common practice in engineering as well as a lot of other industries to log your time meticulously in the name of optimizing everything from resource management to …
We choose to avoid time logging – and believe we get better inventions as a result Read More »
A free flow of ideas is better for business and much more fun than an endless stream of NDA’s and negotiation. After developing our window mounting system Upclimber we made a partnership with Nordic Tech Tools to commercialize the invention. A partnership that started out as a simple royalty agreement but has grown into much …
Strategic partnerships thrive when built on trust rather than contracts Read More »
It’s simply a pleasure to see the Flip bench whenever we visit one of Copenhagen Business School’s campuses. Not only because we are very proud of the design, but because it’s actually being used as we intended: For schoolwork as well as hanging out. Luckily, CBS is also so excited about their signature furniture, that …
The Flip bench is now definitively a signature furniture at CBS Read More »
We’ve been developing tools and concepts for the construction industry for more than a decade. Yet, it never stops to amaze us just how helpful contractors are.

The versatility of 3D printing has become an integral part of our toolbox. Right now, we’re using it in two very different ways on current projects. 3D printers have been a part of our toolbox for a couple of years at this point, but we still keep finding new use-cases for the technology – not …
Inventing new products and solutions is all about concept and vision. That can be hard to communicate before the invention is actually on the market – but with 3D rendering, we’ve found a new tool to do so. When you’re deep in the development of a new product, it can be hard to grasp why …
