“This is our second project with Creactive. Once again they have designed a very attractive enclosure that feels extremely nice to hold and conveys the high quality image we were seeking.” - Ian Mercer, Engineering Manager IDEAL INDUSTRIES Product Solutions.
Creactive Design worked closely with the development team at IDEAL INDUSTRIES to developan instrument that was very compact, ergonomic and maintained the strong product identity. The casework features soft feel areas to provide excellent grip and to give additional protection. It was also imperative that the product was quick and simple to assemble.
The ease of assembly and a minimal number of casework parts were high on our client’s list. Clip details in the mouldings were used where possible to keep the number of screw fixingsto a minimum. The casework enclosure was designed in such a way that the a range of productvariants can be derived by using different bezels and/or key mats; keeping tooling costs andstock of parts to a minimum.
The rear of the unit houses an easily removable power pack; either in the form of a rechargeablepower module or a dry-cell battery pack. The design and layout of this area was crucial to the form of the unit, and our designers had the freedom to change the internal layout and component positioning to make the best use of space. The resulting profile ensures the productis as small as possible and sits comfortably in the hand.
Hans Petersen, director of Creactive Design said;“It is a real pleasure to work with such a responsive client that shares our passion for inspiringand functional design, everything seemed to just fall into place”.
