Investments
Tended Bar - Automated beverage dispensing for high volume applications such as stadiums, restaurants, and hotels.
Unlimited Tomorrow - Unlimited Tomorrow is using low-cost 3D scanners to digitally map an amputee’s residual limb and opposite full arm, if available. This raw scan data goes through software that automatically tailors the design to the shape and dimension of the person. The output of this is then ready to print in a network of 3D printers around the world. This allows us to produce some of the most advanced artificial limbs even in remote and underprivileged communities.
