-
Development of ideas into tangible product concepts. Exploring ergonomics, functionality, ease of use and user interaction.
-
Development of a digital 3D model, allowing for a visual representation of the product. This is the engineering phase of the design.
- Flat technical drawings of the 3D model used by tool designers as well as manufacturer to check size, form and specifications of the product.
- Photo realistic images generated from the 3D model, used for concept analysis and presentations.
- The design & placement of product graphics.
- Leaflets used to convey technical information & instructions pertaining to the product (such as assembly, components etc).

-
Product is grown from a resin base; good quality finish and part accuracy.
- Grown from a powder base; good for functional prototypes and test models.
-
CNC machined aluminum moulds. The softer Aluminum is more easily & rapidly altered as the design process demands it.
- Using a CNC machine to construct a series of smaller parts, which fit together to form the final part.

2D and 3D design of the final tool and all components.
-
Using 3D data of the model to evaluate the flow of material in the mould.
- Fast manufacture of low volume tools.
- Production tooling manufactured using 2d and 3d data from tool design.
-
Checking, evaluating and applying changes to improve the product.
