Giving Back
"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed."
- Mahatma Gandhi
Our Core Belief: Purpose Beyond Profit
Our core philosophy is rooted in the belief that business success is not merely measured by the bottom line, but by the positive impact we have on people and the planet. We are committed to being a force for good, integrating social responsibility and community involvement into the very fabric of our operations. We believe that it is possible to create a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous world for all.
​​
One of our goals is to establish a non-profit organization, where we will be able to pursue projects to give back and help others. Below are some of the initial projects slated for this endeavor.
Prosthetics for All
As a tech enthusiast, it was inevitable that I would dabble with 3d printing, over the years. In the mid 2010s, I stumbled upon a project geared towards 3d printing prosthetic hands, for people in need.
I loved this idea, but I always felt there was an opportunity to do more. There are many strengths when it comes to 3d printing, but one of its primary limitations has always been scale. Through my other endeavors I learned there was a possibility to mass produce similar models, with improved strength and durability, at a slight reduction in the customizations. I strongly believe this can help to fill a need for the larger body of people in need of these life-changing devices. Our goal will be to mass-produce these and offer them at little to no cost to those in need. We will further expand these efforts via community out-reach and involvement, to help give a hand to anyone in need.

Housing Basics
Safe and reliable housing is one of the most basic human needs. Unfortunately, there are still many people around the world without even the most basic of shelter, and even more with unsafe or poor environmental shelter. There have been many advancements, both in 3d printing, and in alternative material structures, over the years, and I feel it is possible through the proper application, to begin transforming the lives of people, beginning with one of their most basic needs. I believe that through some of these advancements, it will be possible to not only provide housing to those in need, but to provide much needed upgrades in regions where sub-optimal housing poses not only risks to the people living in them, but also to the surrounding environment. With a focus on the impact to both the environmental and the health of the people that will be able to call someplace home.
