Creative Direction & Problem Solving Workshops
Sometimes a team needs a boost of creativity, gaining an extra pair of eyes, ears, and hands to help bring a solution to the table and develop it into the next product. Using collaborative problem solving to elevate a project, applying proven techniques to uncover out-of-the-box solutions to complex challenges, turning ideas into actionable concepts and developing those concepts into tangible, build-ready products.
Concept Design & Ideation
Through Concept Design & Ideation, identifying unmet needs, challenging assumptions, and transforming early insights into clear product visions. Generating bold ideas, refining them through structured exploration, and shaping them into validated concepts with purpose and direction— laying the foundation for innovative, market-ready solutions.
3D Design & Early-stage Prototyping
Expert proficiency in SolidWorks and Fusion 360 transforms initial design and development insights into precise, parametric 3D models. This serves as the foundation for rapid prototyping, translating conceptual research into tangible physical parts. Transitioning from the screen to the hand, these prototypes provide invaluable insights into ergonomic form and package size, ensuring every constraint is validated doors.
Detailed 3D Design & Development
Complex mechanical features like lap joints for enclosure mating and screw bosses for secure component mounting and adding draft angles for tooling. Specialised fixturing methods and snap-fits are integrated to ensure structural integrity and ease of assembly. Transitioning these refined models into physical prototypes provides invaluable insight into form and package size, providing a smooth transition into reproduction and manufacture.
High Fidelity Prototyping
Leveraging the latest prototyping technologies transforms design and development learnings into functional physical models to evaluate scale, package size, and intricate design features. This iterative process allows for the integration of embedded electronics and mechanical attachment features to ensure structural integrity. Beyond technical validation, these high-fidelity prototypes provide invaluable insight into form and serve as powerful tools for gathering market interest or securing project investment.
CMF Design & Digital Renders
Establishing the Colour, Material, and Finish (CMF) defines the user’s tactile and visual interaction with the medical enclosure. Through iterative prototyping, various textures, colourways, and material properties are tested to ensure durability, grip, and biocompatibility. Evaluating physical samples under clinical lighting conditions validates the aesthetic and sensory quality, ensuring the product feels as professional as its internal engineering suggests.
Design For Manufacture &
Production Support
Optimising the 3D models for seamless high-volume production. Critical adjustments, such as draft angles, uniform wall thickness, and rib reinforcements, are integrated to prevent defects and minimise tooling costs. This phase culminates in a comprehensive CAD data pack and detailed 2D technical drawings, providing the precise specifications required for chosen production methods.
