The Medical Cryo Project
Hardline Design partnered with premium phone case manufacturer Edge to develop high-end aluminum iPhone cases, combining refined industrial design, precision CAD modeling, and design-for-manufacturing support for a durable, premium consumer product.
THE PHONE CASE PROJECT
The client needed a stronger, easier-to-use hitch lock that could be manufactured efficiently and affordably. We developed the industrial design around improved security, usability, and design-for-manufacturing requirements, then worked closely with the overseas manufacturer to preserve the design intent through production.
The HITCH LOCK Project
Contact lens cases contribute to plastic pollution and are typically low quality. This design centres around premium materials and built-in UV disinfection — delivering a long lasting product that reduces waste and feels worth keeping.

How We Work
A simple transparent process from sketch to shipping.
Discover. We dig into your users, constraints and manufacturing reality. Output: a sharp brief and concept direction.
Design. Sketching, 3D scan, CAD surfacing, CMF, and prototyping until the form, fit and function are right.
Deliver. Full DFM package and hands-on support with your manufacturer so the product you ship matches the one we designed.
Most engagements run 8-16 weeks. Fixed scope or retainer.
