Handheld Scanner Done in 1990 for Logitech, this was the first project I created completely on a computer using a 3D solids modeling progam called Topas. First, I constructed the inside components -- mirrors, PC boards, etc. in 3 dimensions, then created the outside housing, and finally rearranged the inside components to fit the design. It is possible to tell very early in the design process if the design is suitable for the component layout.
Handheld Scanner This design is based on the same components as the last, but the outcome is quite different. Because the client can see the design from every angle, it isn't necessary to build expensive models until all design & engineering issues are resolved.
Handheld Scanner Another concept using the same components. The "L" shape part is a black polycarbonate window which is transluscent. The user can see through this window to what is being scanned.
