Future Value Design

Always keep a smile on your face when doing workshop machine maintenance ;-) Happy (pre) Covid times.

From The Vault - I had lots of fun creating a suitable background and theme for these headphones back at Tafe in 2015. We were provided with the headphone 3D model and then had to apply materials and lighting to produce some marketing presentation ideas. This was a retro idea at the time but I actually remember when this album was first released back in 1994. It was very fresh sounding back then.

A quick fix to get our bandsaw up and running again.
Thanks Ben Brice for running off the 3D print!

Welding up the steel frame for our CNC machine - Sparkhaus Maker Space! Once you get into the flow I find welding so relaxing. It's kinda like intense CAD work, sketching or playing music, you get totally lost in it. Love it all.

3D modelling and rendering for a better understanding of a products design and construction! This image shows the different density foams in there respective colours in a cutaway and exploded positioning.

Simple cardboard and paper physical models (accurately scaled) can really help in assisting a client in designing the best layout options for product displays, industry conferences and layouts where limitations on walk space and foot traffic are important to understand. This can be a fun collaborative jigsaw to solve.

Measuring my nuts! (pardon the pun)
When you have the choice in deciding how a guitar neck feels and plays...
Thought I would measure the guitars I have already to determine what will work for my new resonator guitar design.

When designing across disability, ageing population, dementia? Revaluate this design approach once again.

The great thing about modelling in 3D is you can get a deeper understanding of the physical build before committing to carve up expensive materials! It's also a great visualisation tool for viewing ideas very accurately. Stay tuned for some realistic image renders!

It's always handy being an industrial designer when needing some brand recognition around town.
