From concept to finished component

We see HMI design as a journey from user stories and product strategy to a specific solution. We simplify this journey by dividing it into seven distinct stages, ensuring our process is both straightforward and scalable.

Use our HMI competences as a second opinion to your own concept—or ask us to develop the concept for you, while you review.

Make the right HMI decisions early in your project with our design & engineering services.

Early involvement lets you benefit from better decision‑making, efficient design flow and an improved user experience. begin with discovery so you can ask the right questions and address key considerations from the outset.

An essential part of every HMI development project is the discovery phase. We ask questions, you present your requirements, we scope the project together.

In ideation phase, the task is to find the right design direction. Ideation workshop and concept catalogue with several design concepts are typical activities in this phase.

In design phase, we zoom in on the selected design direction and begin detailing the solution with renderings, material specifications and unit pricing.

Design verification gives a physical proof of concept. 3D printed samples, colour tests, print tests or fidelity prototypes are usually the types of verifications made at this stage.

The designed solutions is matured and put to the test in the engineering phase. Typical activities at this stage are mechanical drawings, stack-ups, test specifications, prototypes out of soft tool, etc.

At this stage in the development, we work on verifying the production setup and series tool. We also get the first out of tool parts, prepare the logistic setup, and prepare for series production.

The list of services is long in the life cycle engineering phase. They are all designed to ensure a continuous success of your product throughout its lifetime.

Rapid prototying

We support fast and realistic prototyping of your HMI solution. This includes both rigid and soft mock-ups:

Stiff 3D‑printed mock‑up (PLA): initial shape and layout checks can be done quickly using 3d printed models in PLA. These prototypes are rigid and cost‑efficient—but limited in detail and cannot provide realistic button function or tactility.
Silicone‑moulded sample: from in‑house 3D-mould to evaluate tactile feel, We provide a higher‑fidelity option with a 3D-printed mould which we fill with liquid silicone (shore 50A), and use a metal dome under a plastic backing sheet to simulate the tactile feedback of a real button. This approach delivers detailed shape accuracy and realistic feel, without the cost of steel tooling.
High‑fidelity prototype: at the highest level, prototypes are created using actual steel tooling. Steel tooling offers exceptional precision, surface quality and material fidelity. This enables full validation before series production.
