iblocks

The iblocks system is a group of electronic and mechanical building blocks used to create modular systems. Many electrical functions such as audio, sensor interface and lighting control are available. A full-line of cases, mounting brackets, fabric bags and boxes enable the design to design rather than re-engineer. Custom designs can also be manufactured.
