In collaboration with Speck Design, this product is an innovation in lab automation. The client provided the mechanical design, and Hardline Design was responsible for the user interaction, overall shape, material selection, and color of the product casing.
Design research of current workflow and other relevant elements that influenced the design process.
These slides outline the design process steps: design research, user interface study, theme ideation, rapid prototyping, 3D CAD model refinement, UX/UI development, and final CAD model with product renders.
User interface design inspiration using a circle and not digits to aid visual communication across the lab environment
Design theme sketches and physical mockups made from foam illustrated different design directions and sizes.
Design refinement renders of CAD models. The final design used elements from several proposals.
Visualizing user interface. Main function of device is communicating status over preset set timeframe.
CAD model renders, Class-A surfaces made in Alias rendered in Vred to illustrate final design and details.
