Mechanical / Industrial Design
For products that are integrated into larger
systems, a basic protection mechanical system is often all
that is required. Careful designs can ensure a cost effective
and functional end product.
Effective Industrial Design can enhance
the market appeal of a product, giving it a polished look
and feel but also involves many aspects of the overall design
philosophy including;
- Style, ergonomics.
- Usability - controls, displays
and software interfaces.
- Complex functional structures
- e.g. lenses, probes, moving parts.
- Materials.
- Product assembly.
- Internal mechanical systems
engineering.
The creative use of materials and structures can provide
significant cost benefits for volume products. Low volume
products can also benefit from careful industrial design.
By applying appropriate fabrication techniques, a stylish
and cost effective solution can be achieved.
Extensive use is made of 3-D modelling software to provide
the ability to integrate physical models of all components,
mechanical and electronic (PCB's), to ensure seamless physical
integration of the product.
