Overview
Project background
Design a personal scale with
focus on the technical components and
realistic implementation of the design.
The Process
My process will be different in different projects and will be determined by many factors such as the project goals, business needs, complexity of the problem, time, etc. Here I'll describe my process for solving this problem.
RESEARCH & ANALYSE
Research, Identifying potential, Defining tasks
CONCEPT
Principle definition, Global concepts, Concept selection
DESIGN
Design specification, CAD
DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
Manufacturing specifications
DETAIL OPTIEMIERUNG & Result
Series production, Pilot series, Presentation
Problems
- Complex assembly process
- Excessive, expensive components
- Unnecessary expense due to complicated design
- Complicated structure with many screws
- Poor display quality
Expanding a bathroom scale to understand how the components in a scale work
The reconstruction as a CAD model helps to better understand the better understand the dimensions and proportions
Design Goals
HIDDEN DISPLAY
Use of hidden display technology
TEMPUR GLASS
The glass is very robust and safe
SMART
Easy connection with the smartphone
CORPORATE IDENTITY
Design language and product strategy from Bodum
Moodboard
Smooth edges, large branding, black and White color, are the characteristics of the brand BODUM
Consolidated Concepts
Instead of the sharp edges and diamond-cut design, we introduced rounded edges because they better fit the design language of Bodum.
Diamond cutting and large radii, in addition to sharp edges, render this product unsuitable for use with Bodum
Smooth curves and rounded edges
