industrial design
We design and produce land-vehicle prototypes and a related CAD tool.
We also produce a UI-design tool for developers.
Land-vehicle protoypes
We have designed (and produced a prototype for) a bicycle-rear-wheel-stabiliser.
The stabiliser is an attachment that stabilises the rear-wheel
and also creates an extra load-bearing point just behind the bicycle
that can be used to attach cargo-carrying frames.
We plan to produce other land-vehicle design prototypes.
CAD tool
We are producing a CAD tool for creating a digital specification of a structural assembly (such as a bicycle). The tool uses a hexagonal-grid to greatly simplify the specification process for 3D structures.
The Specifier
UI-design tool
InterUnit-UI is a WIMP alternative that results in far better UI-ergonomics. We are producing a tool called Ergonomix for designing app-UIs with InterUnit-UI. It includes a C++ CodeEditor with autocomplete and InterUnit-UI specific code-navigation mechanisms.
Ergonomix
Past and planned design projects
Roadster-bicycle suspension redesign (2018-2019)
We redesigned the seating and suspension system of a common roadster bicycle,
and also added a small carrier for groceries.
SUV roof redesign (2018-2022)
We redesigned the roof of an SUV to flow air through the car while keeping the rain out.
Flow-through sub-compact car (planned)
We plan to design a sub-compact car that flows air through the car.
Land-vehicle production techniques
The unit-construction-hub is a space, an installation and a process repository
for the production of a single land-vehicle unit.
We have started prototyping a unit-construction-hub
for the production of a bicycle-stabiliser design.
Design considerations for 3-wheeled transportation
We present some design consideration for the design of 3-wheeled transportation,
based on an observation of bare-bones, cost-optimised operational designs.
