Experience

  • Dezarc

    At Dezarc we are creating an entirely new category of tools that give designers & engineers a hands-on feel of their design specifications early on in the design process. Having physical samples of specifications such as color, texture, and hardness available early in the design process allows for not only a reduction in time to market but also an improved end-product.

This technology was invented by Prof. Angela Belcher and Dr. Jeremy Li at MIT. Prof. Belcher is the head of the Bioengineering Department at MIT. The technology has applications in anatomical pathology, open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.
