Having successfully registered and protected new designs with the Patent Office, in8CAD teamed up with Roctag to produce a range of low cost rugged products for both the military and commercial markets. in8CADs brief was to look at producing a new range of products that were low cost and of the same quality expected from products claiming the ‘rugged title’.

First product off the production line from Roctag is a rugged USB stick (not the one featured on the gadget show). The new design is based on feedback from existing kit on the market, whilst still offering a tough aircraft grade aluminium housing, to protect 1gb, 4gb, 8gb+ memory chips. The new stick is finished with an anodised colour and sealed with rubber and chrome surround.

Following on from the first batch of prototypes, we hope these sticks will be the next mini-maglite equivalent and be appearing in gift boxes very soon! Website and marketing material was also provided by in8. www.roctag.com
