From Concept to Product

We teamed up with a great manufacturing partner, Vivitar Inc., located in Holland, Michigan.  With them we developed the Amplifiear from a 3-D printed part with 2-D folded card stock packaging to a product molded from ABS with truly “retail ready” packaging.  It was a long road with more than one redesign, but in the end we are very proud with the final product that we have brought to the market and hope our backers will be too.
