At Custom Prototypes, we’ve been tight with ACIDO for ages—helping whip up thousands of wild ideas into real, touchable, oh-wow products
Some even became legends (hey there, Garbo Can and OSs Chair!).
Every May, ACIDO turns up the heat with a showcase of Ontario’s brightest industrial design grads. And us? We’re all about that designer magic—the secret sauce that turns a product from meh to mind-blowing.
That’s why we’re stoked to sponsor the ROCKET competition, the ultimate launch pad for fresh design talent.
Mark your calendars for May 24th @ UofT, where we’ll be judging and handing out the golden glory—the Art Deco Metropolis-inspired Rocketeer Award—to the 2025 Prototype Prodigy.
Will it be you?
