Examples of projects
Here's a couple of product development projects supported by STFC via LCR4 START:
"The support I’ve received via LCR4 START has led to a solid strategic vision for Buggy Assist. The additive manufacturing expertise from STFC has been extremely valuable and brought the ‘idea to life’ – moving the concept to the next stage of development." - Patricia Porter
"Working with the team at STFC via LCR4 START on the Kettle Companion has been a crucial stage in our journey so far, allowing us to explore options that have reduced costs and de-risked the transition of a concept to a physical prototype. We are excited to be able to move into the trial phase now and are seeking families to test out the latest update of the Kettle Companion." - Alex Lennon
