Our Story

As a composite materials & process engineer, I am acutely aware of the manufacturing challenges resulting from the inability to accurately measure the pressure inside a vacuum bag. With years of experience in the industry, I have seen the negative impacts first-hand – poor quality outcomes impacting time and cost while significantly increasing waste from rework.

Driven to enhance the accuracy and repeatability of composite manufacturing processes, I developed a unique method to measure the pressure in a vacuum bag without piercing it – VacPuc.

A VacPuc easily and accurately measures pressure from inside a vacuum bag, which is fundamental to achieving quality outcomes in composite manufacturing processes. It transmits pressure readings directly to your smartphone, for instant, on demand data.

In an industry-first, a VacPuc works while retaining the vacuum bag’s integrity – saving time and money, while reducing waste.
