Airclic / i355 Cover

Business Objective
Definitive Design was contracted to design a new phone cover that would:
  • protect the Airclic AC25 bar code scanner and keep it attached to the Motorola i355 cell phone
  • be attractive and reflect the look of the Motorola i355 cell phone
  • be easy to manufacture and assemble.
Development Path
  • create 5 Industrial Design concepts
  • scan and reverse engineer the shape of the i355 phone
  • Use Pro/Engineer’s advanced surfacing module to provide mechanical design of the sculpted PC/ABS substrate and Santoprene overmold
  • grow SLA engineering check model for internal and client review
  • refine mechanical design based on SLA model
  • cast urethane components in order to validate design
  • select materials for production

The Result

The Airclic i355 cover is a durable and attractive 2 shot case for the cell phone and scanner.  Collaboration with the client, imagination, and close attention to the client’s wishes resulted in a compelling form that provides unparalleled function.
