Body Design

Body Design by IDEYou might be asking yourself, "What is body design?"

We are simply using an automotive industry analogy for what is commonly referred to in the technology sector as enclosure design, case design or housing design. Everyone is familiar with cars, thus the best way to relate our expertise in technology product design is to use the example of automobile design.

Think of a car's engine and drive train as analogous to your instrument's core technology (hardware and software). Think of the car's body, interior and chassis as analogous to your instrument's exterior enclosure (cabinet or case) which has an exterior form, interior user access points, and structural chassis to assemble everything together (enclosure, user access points, and core technology).

IDE's design team are experts at designing your product's body and chassis in the same way that the famous European automobile design consultants, Pininfarina, Bertone, Ghia, and Ital Design, are experts at designing and developing car bodies, interiors and chassis platforms. As do the aforementioned companies, IDE combines industrial design, mechanical and electrical engineering, and prototype manufacturing all under one roof for the sole purpose of providing our customers with the most compelling (and competitive) designs, on time, and within budget. Whether your product is a handheld or wearable consumer product, or a highly specialized, precision medical or bio-tech instrument, our design team can provide you with an aesthetically stunning, ergonomically designed, and superbly engineered body and chassis.

We even have the skill to design smart mechanisms that enhance the physical user interface, adding tremendous value to your product. This includes the ability to design for contemporary (UI) paradigms such capacitance touchscreens and switches, smart robotic access points, and systems for providing transport and precise placement of diagnostic samples, etc.
