Core Technologies

Biomechanics Engineering

Development of artificial organs and circulatory simulators that reproduce life's natural motion. This technology is used for medical advancements in artificial organ development and testing.

Acoustic & Thermal Control

Advanced soundproofing and insulation technologies combining performance and sustainability, offering the best solutions for next-generation smart buildings and vehicles.

Featured Product Examples

Rotary Vortex Artificial Heart Prototype

Partner: Yasuhisa Koki Bio Mechanics Co., Ltd. A mass-productiontype artificial heart prototype that circulates blood using a natural rotary vortex instead of blades or pistons. This innovative design minimizes blood damage and simulates lifelike flow 4 advancing ethical, reproducible cardiovascular research.

Blood Circulation Simulator

Partner: Yasuhisa Koki Bio Mechanics Co., Ltd. A mechanical system that replicates human circulatory dynamics for medical testing and device evaluation. Researchers can simulate blood pressure, pulsation, and vascular resistance in a controlled environment 4 ideal for testing artificial hearts and catheters.

Acoustic & Thermal Control Module

Partner: CHUGAI Co., Ltd. A high-performance material combining soundproofing and thermal insulation in a single structure. Developed for next-generation vehicles and smart buildings, it achieves both quiet comfort and energy efficiency through multifunctional material design.

Collaborative Manufacturing Platform

Nationwide MachikMba Network (Japan) A co-creation ecosystem that unites over 100 small factories across Japan. This platform enables complex assemblies 4 such as deep-sea exploration devices or medical prototypes 4 through integrated design, machining, and assembly processes.

Design-Driven Prototyping Loop

Design Partner: Pitapat Inc. A unique collaboration model where research ideas generated in Harwell are prototyped in Japan and refined back in the UK. This cycle of design, prototyping, and feedback accelerates innovation and transforms imagination into reality.
