Research Delivery
Innovators at 3M, Black and Decker, BMW, Nike, Procter & Gamble and Walt Disney Imagineering work with us to support their in-house innovation programs. We provide research on materials and technologies along with enlightened ideas for how they might be applied. To stimulate creativity we communicate this research with several tools:
Innovation Center
Hands-on experiences serve as powerful gateways to understanding a material or technology. The Innovation Center includes actual samples for product developers to explore. Each is tagged with a brief description and several ideas on how the technology might be applied.
Tagged Samples
Each sample comes tagged with a brief description and ideas for how it might be applied.
Online Database
We publish detailed information about each technology in our searchable online database. Details on sourcing, pricing, technical information, explanations of uses, related websites, and patents serve as a research launching point.
