Remigo One Electric Outboard Motor

Remigo One

RemigoOne is the first fully integrated outboard motor in the form of a rudder. Involving boaters, sailors, and enthusiasts throughout the development process gave the team strong insights needed to redesign boating into a simple, frustration-free experience for all, including those with no nautical know-how. It is the lightest in its class, with all vital parts sealed into an IP67 watertight housing, and requires near-zero maintenance. It is also truly versatile: the same unit can propel any type of vessel up to 8m/1500kg, fits seawater, and meets regulations for use on all inland waterways.

Plastrack Drawer Slide

Plastrack

Plastrack is a drawer slide designed for tool-free installation. The slide is made of high-strength steel-reinforced plastic in a single injection-molded piece. The main body consists of symmetrical guide rail modules that lock into preset holes in the cabinet with elastic clips, so no screws are needed. Plastrack fits cabinets of different depths and supports both side and bottom installation. The screw-free method shortens installation time and avoids contact with sharp screws. The design also addresses the cost and the limited compatibility of traditional metal slides.

Mechcircuit Interactive Mechanics and Sensors

Mechcircuit

Mechcircuit is a prototyping system for interactive devices that combine electronic circuits and mechanical structures. Neodymium magnets are both magnetic and conductive, so they serve as both moving joints and electrical connections. Rotary and linear motions are achieved without traditional mechanical parts. Wiring and soldering are replaced by magnets and laser-cut slots, so parts connect and change quickly. Prototypes are cut from 2 mm acrylic sheets, and conductive silver ink forms the circuits. Computer-aided design software supports non-expert users.

Saturn 4 Ultra UV Photocuring 3D Printer

Saturn 4 Ultra

Saturn 4 Ultra is a UV photocuring 3D printer made for design validation and model printing. Automatic leveling prepares the machine for use at startup, so manual leveling is not required. AI cameras monitor the printing process in real time, and WiFi cluster printing lets several machines work together. Power-off resume printing and material shortage alerts support long print jobs. The casing combines metal with recyclable ABS and PC copolymers. The unit measures 327.4 by 329.2 by 548 millimeters.

No Screw Lock

No Screw

No Screw is a luggage lock designed for efficient assembly and easy maintenance. The lock has two split parts: a lock body and an anti reverse base shell, joined without screws. The locking component slides onto the base shell for quick and secure installation, which supports automation in production. An accompanying disassembly handle separates the two parts, so maintenance needs no tools and no professional help. Over 80 percent of the lock is made from lightweight ABS, which resists impact and wear and adds little weight for travelers.
