The Brief
Turn a Therapeutic Concept Into Something Hands Trust
A medical-device startup needed their relief-pen concept made real: a device whose ergonomics, weight and feel could only be judged in the hand — meaning fast physical iterations, not endless CAD reviews.
Our ApproachRapid prototyping carried the development: each ergonomic hypothesis printed, held, critiqued and revised within days. Materials were scoped honestly for skin-contact duty, and the final design emerged from real user feedback, not guesswork.
