A Process-Driven Approach to Product Development

While the final application of the prototypes is confidential, it is still possible to describe the development processes involved. These processes are largely consistent across projects, even when the end products differ, and they represent a core part of my professional contribution.

The components were initially developed as detailed 3D models in SolidWorks. From these models, material selection and appropriate manufacturing methods for the prototyping phase were identified and defined. This structured approach ensures that design decisions are aligned with both functional requirements and production feasibility.

As part of my role, I provided advisory services within technical and industrial design throughout the entire development cycle, from early concept validation to physical prototyping.

The components were precision-machined and mechanically polished in transparent polycarbonate, enabling both structural evaluation and visual inspection of internal assemblies. In addition, physical dummy PCBs representing future electronic designs were produced and integrated into the units to simulate final assembly conditions.

The primary purpose of the prototypes was to validate mechanical assembly, tolerances, and functional performance, as well as to assess system behavior in a realistic operating environment. This process-oriented methodology is transferable and applicable across a wide range of products and industries, regardless of the specific end use.
