The Technology

World’s first shape memory cards. We are redefining what a greeting card can be by combining robotic engineering with fine art and illustration to create twenty-first century greeting cards that inspire WOW. Employing technology developed by company CEO and Co-founder, Menuka Gamage, Nanopuppet’s debut collection of butterfly cards combines beautiful visual design with surprisingly complex engineering, featuring life-like miniature robots in each of its greeting cards. It took him seven years to prototype and develop our muscle alloy constructed robots which allows them to mimic organic motion. Stay tuned for our next collection of talking card, specializing not only in motion but also sound synchronicity.
