Outerspace will be out in force across two major Melbourne events this week. Rishabh Sahi will be at the Monash Institute of Medical Engineering 2025 Symposium, and our Director Fred Blochlinger will be at the Jumar Bioincubator Annual Showcase 2025. Both gatherings bring together leaders in medtech, biotech, and commercialisation. If you are exploring opportunities in connected health, diagnostics, lab instruments, or emerging biotech technologies, reach out to Rish or Fred to connect on the day. We are always keen to talk about how our integrated industrial design, mechanical, electronics, firmware, and systems teams help organisations move from concept to production with confidence.

Our Founder and Director Fred Blochlinger is in South Australia this week, meeting with existing and prospective clients across defence, manufacturing, advanced technology and other sectors. At Outerspace Design, we design and engineer rugged, reliable products for demanding environments – from medtech and scientific instruments to sportstech and defence systems. Our multidisciplinary teams in Melbourne and San Diego bring together industrial designers, mechanical, electronics, firmware, and systems engineers under one roof to help organisations de-risk development and move confidently from concept through to production. If you are based in Adelaide or regional SA and working in defence, industrial, or connected product development, Fred would be glad to meet and discuss how we can support your next project. Get in touch at https://outerspace.co/ or message Fred directly to connect while he’s in town.

Medical devices need to deliver reliability, usability, and safety where it matters most - at the patient’s side. At outerspace, we partnered with VariVac to design and engineer the VariVac Arc, a compact negative pressure wound therapy device used in hospitals and home care. The result is a lightweight, portable system with variable vacuum levels, intuitive alerts, and a replaceable canister design that reduces waste and maintenance. Our multidisciplinary team combined mechanical, electronics, and industrial design to help VariVac bring a complex medical product to market that meets clinical and user needs. We collaborate with medtech companies across Australia to translate early-stage concepts into certified, salable devices. Get in touch with Fred Blochlinger and Rishabh Sahi to discuss your challenge or speak with them face to face at the 2025 AMMA Medtech Showcase on the 16th Oct in Melbourne.

WA mining pushes equipment to the limit - dust, heat, water, and vibration test every product in the field. At outerspace, we partnered with Motium to create the TUFF Panel fully functional PC - engineered to survive harsh environments with IP65 protection, rugged seals, low power use, and long service life. Our team helps organisations design and deliver products that perform reliably in the toughest conditions - from concept through to production. We are connecting with WA companies who need resilient, fit-for-purpose technology. Get in touch with Brody Payne and Rishabh Sahi to discuss your challenge. #WA #ProductDesign #Engineering #Mining #Perth #Design
