MAKO Design + Invent is a design company grounded in helping to push innovation and inspire the design community in as many ways as possible. During these unprecedented times, we recognize the needs of the many and are making an effort to help give back to the community and fight COVID-19 by using our design skills to give what is needed the most in the midst of difficult times.
At MAKO, we are doing everything we can to support healthcare workers, emergency services, and the general public in order to bolster the fight against COVID-19.
Free Parts for Hospital and Care Workers
At MAKO, we have access to a full in-house design studio that is filled with tools and the right equipment that can help make important and necessary parts that are helpful to those working within the healthcare industry. Not only that but with our top product design services, we have multiple 3D printers ready at any time that can print free parts to supply those that are short on emergency supplies.
We are glad to provide any free designs and free parts to whoever we can at this moment. If you or anyone you know in the healthcare industry needs medical supplies, we will do our best to make the parts that they need entirely free of cost.
For example, small, plastic parts are what are easier to design and 3D print at expedited measures, which are salient to protective equipment, such as mask shield pieces, clips, and respiratory valve parts. Please reach out to us if you have some small design parts that you need printed, and we will do our best to help. Email us at info@makodesign.com or call us at +1 (888) 806-6256 (MAKO).
MAKO Grant for Health and Wellness Inventions
As always, MAKO Design + Invent strives to use our top product design services to take on any new and innovative consumer product or invention ideas that can help improve the health and wellness of humanity, and now is the time to act more than ever!
As such, we will provide grants up to 25% of the design costs for new products that are brought to us over the next 6 weeks so that we can work together to improve the health and wellness of humanity as quickly as possible. In addition to this grant, we will make sure to give these new projects top priority and will be fast-tracked in their development.
MAKO Design + Invent is Nearly Fully Operational
As a firm, we are lucky to state that we were long prepared for the situation in which we would have to move our services to at-home work procedures for all of our staff and team members. Weeks ago, we put this policy into effect and had everyone set up their remote workstations, including moving key pieces of equipment into staff homes, so we can fight the spread of COVID-19.
Luckily, most of our global factory partners are also nearly back to regular operations. Therefore, we have been able to manage most prototyping and production processes – with some delays, of course.
MAKO Design + Invent is eager to use our top product design services to take on and start new projects in order to keep our team busy and our charity initiatives going. If you have an exciting, new invention idea within any product category that you are thinking of while at home, please reach out to us so we can help you bring that idea to life.
The time for taking action and creating the next biggest and best innovation is now, so don’t hesitate to reach out and get your product developed as soon as possible for when the next upturn comes!
Stay Healthy to Fight COVID-19
Most importantly, the team at MAKO Design + Invent wishes everyone the best in these tough times. Don’t lose sight of the fact that this is temporary. As a nation, we must come together to overcome this pandemic and prevail! Remember to keep social distancing, wash your hands, stay positive, and remain informed!
