next gen mask design
Have you ever wondered why there are so few options for comfortable, adaptable, reusable respirators? You might be surprised to learn that it’s not really a demand issue. Lots of us are still masking and we’re hungry for better solutions.
The issue actually lies with some major production hurdles: it’s really slow and really expensive to use traditional manufacturing methods to prototype functional masks.
But! We’ve been working hard to change the game and we’re excited to fill you in. Our process takes what what a $30-50K/prototype process and replaces it with a one time $4k captial investment and $30/prototype.
