Workflow ID 2025

 
 
“Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.”

 —Charles Eames.

' A designer’s influence and role is how a product looks and functions, but also including human ergonomics, end-user benefit, material innovations and corporate branding.'

 

 

 Workflow ID 2025:

  This is our design-process for Product- and Transportation Design:

 
   We develop with you your product from the first spark to the final production-model.
 
 
  First ideation pin-up sketches in ClipStudio.
 
  We will post here end of August Rhino/VRay 3D-solid products.
 
 
 

EDC:  Entwurf - Design - Create

 
1. Entwurf
 

`from the inside out`. Briefing from client. Before the start of the project: we do consumer-research how to use the product, we do research about existing products. We do tumbnail-sketches and sketch-ideations from hand and digital. Doing small paper/cardboard- or clay-bloc-models to get a 3D-feeling for the product-ergonomics. We also use Nomad 3D-Sculpt on the I-Pad for first 3D form-ideations.

Everything is allowed in this stage. We try to `stay-open-minded`.
 
We present 15 concept-ideas.
 
 

2. Design

`Design in CAD`. Design-finding in CAD-3D,-for a feeling of the product,-the consumer-user-experience. We design/3D-sketching with Rhino+V-Ray. We do also at the same time a first 2D-view-scaleplan.

This second step has more production-details,-the mood of the product in the product-environment. 

We present 5 design-ideas.

 

3. Create

Refinement in CAD-2D and CAD-3D. In this stage we do studies of the design-details. We do realistic graphic-plans, and we do CAD-contour-section-plans. We will solve with you together the design in a `step by step` process.

A fresh, and photorealistic production model is done in Rhino-Nurbs/V-Ray,- a solid-model for production. This solid model can be imported into your CAD-work-environment.

Software used in August 2025:

1.    I-Pad:   First ideas-2D in ArtSet, ClipStudio, Sketchbook. And Nomad 3D-Sculpt for 3D-form.

2.    PC:    Rhino/VRay and D5 Render for virtual 3D-form-ideation and then 3D-nurbs-modeling.

2.1  Vectorworks and ArchiCad for CAD. Mostly use in Architecture- and Environmental Design.

We use Photoshop and AffinityDesigner for graphic. And ClipStudio/Rebelle for sketch and art.
