The main points of Emil’s troubles in the above image:
- Delayed materials
- Wrong product dimensions
- Damage to the only prototype
Add to that a limited material selection and prototypes not yet ready for the photo shoot, and it’s no wonder he was feeling stressed.
Physical prototypes is a must have in the industry, but by also creating them in 3D, opens up new possibilities and is key to avoiding problems most designers face. The 3D models allows for quickly testing out new materials, colors and dimensions. It’s great for the design process, but it also means that you won’t be delayed by complicated production chains when a change is needed, being surprised by production errors on arival or experience damage to your product during transportation to the photo shoot.
The HÄNDVARK furniture was meticulously modelled to the last detail so close ups were possible, materials tested and a studio setup simulating the real world was created.
