$25k dev, $2k materials, 9 months

 Problem

When approaching BES, the client had already begun developing a novel, clinically-oriented product with in-house engineering. Their team was struggling with electromechanical integration specifically concerning product durability, ergonomics, and design for manufacture & assembly.
 

Solution

Boulder Engineering studio integrated the client into our process of hands-on iterative prototyping. With collaboration between our multi-disciplinary teams, BES was able to affordably redesign the device’s custom electronics, safety-oriented firmware, and mechanical components. Suggestions were made to the client’s in-house team for simpler changes to enhance usability and reliability.
