Paul realized the value that AM gave in producing prototypes for evaluation with consumer focus groups and the ability to iterate at speed.
Using AM, Paul invented a mass manufacturing tooling solution for the manufacture of elastomeric parts, consumers through e-commerce and high street retailers, without high capital expenditure.
