Resources

Made with Muca

Skin-On Interfaces

Our open source electronic promotes sustainable practices by reducing electronic waste and energy consumption.

Robotic Artificial Skin

Our products are designed with a focus on sustainability and social responsibility, creating a positive impact on both people and the planet.

Multi-touch Textile

The conductive yarns can be sewn by a machine and make any textile surface multi-touch. The technology is compatible with other materials.
