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
