[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16149497, member: 181885"] I'm not alone!! HAHA. Don't get me wrong, I still love KBs, and despite the company's overall sense of arrogance, they make one hell of a good product and have excellent technical write ups on their site. There have been a few instances in industry where I've made a suggestion and the product magically hits the market a year or two later. But, for what the products are, I'm just glad they now exist. No sense in me developing a product from scratch when another company has almost all of the tooling already made. The one that will come back to bite me [i]would[/i] be revolutionary in the manufacturing world- flexible fixturing. I started on a case study for it in 2015 and it got shot down due to "politics." We tested granular vacuum interlock devices, including home-made versions, and decided they were too unpredictable. So, I sketched up some ideas, put together a project plan for a proof of principle, including what would have been proprietary material layering and electrorheological bladders, and.... it went nowhere. It could have been huge. Know any investors? I still have the magic formula stashed away in ye old brain. [/QUOTE]
