We started with a concept: a sleeker version of the original Manager. The concept evolved into a complete redesign considering usability, installation, maintenance, manufacturing, scalability, upgradability - the whole DFX concept. The Core (Black) and Manager (White) Notice the flexible … [Read more...] about Understanding Industrial Design – Part 6 – The Final Product
We are on the final stages of the design effort. The guts of the system were finalized, the units working extremely well and #DesignForManufacturing was in full swing. We still had some room for final touches. Product appearance plays a meaningful role in purchasing decisions, particularly when … [Read more...] about Understanding Industrial Design – Part 5 – finishing touches
While the team is continuing to refine the concept, the design refinements continue. Industrial design is inherently iterative. As lessons were learned and requirements evolved, the team refined internal packaging, component layout, and overall form. The customer liked the small removable cover … [Read more...] about Understanding Industrial Design – Part 4
In the last post, we described the #ideation process. While this is happening, the team is actively working in parallel on the design. Early prototyping revealed opportunities for refinement that were not apparent in sketches alone. These behind-the-scenes prototypes translated industrial design … [Read more...] about Understanding Industrial Design – Part 3 – prototyping
This is the second phase of the Manager development effort. With clear requirements in place, the next phase focused on concept development. Industrial design sketch exploration translated functional needs and hardware architecture into early visual directions. The team started a space budget … [Read more...] about Understanding Industrial Design – Part 2
In this six-part series, we share how industrial design shaped the evolution of a long-standing customer product: the Autani Manager. Understanding Industrial Design – Part 1 - Industrial design is more than aesthetics. #IndustrialDesign is often misunderstood in the #ProductDevelopment … [Read more...] about Understanding Industrial Design – Part 1
TE Connectivity is a world class #interconnect and #sensor company, so when they exhibit their products at conferences, they need a world class display. We were fortunate to help make their vision a reality, designing, fabricating and assembling the latest innovations into this OCP rack. It … [Read more...] about Production Quality Rack Design for Interconnect Platform
We are looking forward to sharing the overall process of reverse engineering... #rapidprototyping #reverseengineering #3Dscanning #rpmtech … [Read more...] about Coming soon… A story about Family, Loyalty, Technology and Good Friends
