adding mold-tech texturing to a rapid-prototype urethane casting allowed designPORT to generate soft-durometer physical prototypes that closely matched the final molded part design for this whirlpool accessory. SolidWorks 3D design software aided in the generation of complex 3D surfaces and allowed clear communication with the toolmaker to perfect the undercut peel-off molding process.

complex surface modeling, FEA analysis, and rapid rendering capabilities allow us to keep pace in markets dominated by today's compressed consumer product development schedules. using SolidWorks 3D design software, designPORT can quickly generate complex designs that can match established visual cues or establish an entirely new design language.

selling your ideas to investors isn't always easy, but good press helps. designPORT worked with North Pacific Marine to transform their intellectual property into concepts worthy of the front page. working alongside a naval artist, designPORT generated high quality, stylized renderings which were featured in the September 2009 edition of Marine News.

package design should never be an afterthought, but mistakes are made. this was the situation when a client approached designPORT with a multiple configuration PCBA design with all component geometry and layout cemented-including a cosmetic strain relief-but no enclosure. ingenuity and experience allowed designPORT to produce a single injection molded case geometry capable of seamlessly housing all configurations, creating an attractive, cohesive product line.

a robust, attractive design was needed for this resistance training system for professional athletes. this simple weldment incorporates a clean, subtle style consistent with current branding and the toughness to endure constant use in professional training facilities.
