Together, the PolyOne team worked on industrial design, ergonomics, manufacturability, and material selection for the device, together with White and toolmaker/molder Alpha Tool and Mold, a longtime PolyOne customer. I first started working on this problem more than 14 years ago when on international missions in the Marine Corps,” said Kevin White, executive director, Global Vision 2020 and inventor of the USee device. Additional capabilities include precision machining and prototype work for various industries, plastic custom molding for both sampling and production runs, and engineering support for tool design optimization.

Working with Avient Design on this project gave me a good sense of what working in the industry is like. This included regular critiques and feedback sessions, which helped the students refine their designs and push their work to a higher level. Working with Georgia Tech's Industrial Design students has been an incredibly rewarding experience," said Jake Salter, Program Manager at Avient Design.
