the project is a feasibility project to generate a novel measurement system for assessing the loading applied on feet at risk of developing an ulcer during activities of daily living.

imprints are 3d printed custom orthotics designed to prevent diabetic foot ulceration. they do this by reducing the peak foot pressures that can cause foot ulcers to develop. the fully integrated solution comprises a 3d foot scanner, automated design software and a 3d orthotics printer.

we are building on our expertise in micro turbine technology in the development of an innovative biogas fuelled micro-combustor that could generate clean, affordable energy for countries across the globe.

centralised power generation in power plants produces a lot of carbon pollution and energy is lost through transmission. mini generators, which can be used at home, improve efficiency by roughly 20% and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.

it’s a big change – there is no other product like this in the energy market. there are challenges but we believe we can overcome them.
