Wooden cores are layered with reinforcing materials, bases and edges before being pressed and shaped into handcrafted skis. Tank bodies are moulded or cast and fitted with access openings and internal partitions; high-pressure fluid forces metal blanks into dies to create lightweight chassis parts; and thick transparent panels are cast, machined and polished into aquarium windows.

Zip Line Brakes, Silk Fiber Lamps, Round Balers, Comfort Shoes

Machined braking assemblies are built and tested to slow zip-line riders safely near the end of a run. Silk fibres are layered and bonded over shaped forms to create translucent lamps; pickup reels, belts, rollers and wrapping equipment are assembled into round balers; and supportive uppers, cushioning and shaped soles are joined to produce comfort shoes.
