nurocheck
This 2020 Good Design Award of the Year winner is a prime example of what is possible when cutting edge design meets manufacturing at an earlier stage of involvement. This project is a collaboration between Headsafe, 4Design, LXGroup, Vestech and Threegon.
DFM started in October 2018
The pressure was intense from the getgo transitioning CAD designs to Tooling, T0 samples and eventually trial units for regulatory testing. Additional challenges were met when considering the sub-assemblies had an IP rating to conform to, meaning the DFM had to take into account surfaces that would later become potential ingress points for water and dust.
This project required 30 sets of tools and comprises around 75 unique mechanical parts.
DFM took around 4-5 weeks to complete for this very complicated assembly and by late December 2018, we had T0 off tool sample parts coming off our presses. A huge achievement by all involved.
"Many thanks to you and your team for working with us through the ups and downs. The project did have its moments!
We wouldn’t have achieved this milestone without your support. You guys have been amazing partners throughout this journey.
Please pass on our thanks to the team with honourable mentions to Yang Lin and Oliver for persevering with me and the time pressures!
We are looking forward to working with you on the next chapter of this fantastic device.
Well done and we’ll speak soon.
Brett"
