Guest Lecture at University of Colorado Boulder

Yesterday I had the pleasure of providing a virtual guest lecture at the University of Colorado Boulder. I would have loved to be there in person, maybe next year; nonetheless, it was great to speak to students majoring in Environmental Design and teach them about what manufacturing is like once they graduate. They all showed a great interest in learning which sustainable practices are most viable in the real world.

Thank you to Alexandra Beach for letting me take over her class for a little while and inviting me to share my knowledge to the next wave of engineers and designers!

Here’s to the next generation of potential Roecks!

Presentation – “Scaling Up”

Portland business events, scaling up!

Later this month I will be speaking at Portland Made’s June Maker Meetup. I am very grateful to have this opportunity to share my experiences. I plan to arm businesses local to Portland with information that will improve their production.
All are welcome, and the knowledge I will be sharing can translate to any local business or startup in any city.

Hope to see you there!

Consumer Goods Design and Sourcing – Fitness!

Our latest featured project.  Design and sourcing of a robust pull up bar using readily available materials (pipe and pipe fittings). 

The unique feature about this one?  After initial assembly and once the flanges are mounted, the design incorporates a combination of fittings, left hand threads and right hand threads to allow for the assembly to be put up and taken down with just a few twists.  Perfect for a garage or basement without the eye sore when it is not in use.

Call us today for your consumer goods design needs!
