Industrial design review · Production guide
Build a CMF board for a consumer electronics design review
Use the supplied Pivot 01 model at 65°. The graphite B01 base and H01 hinge stay fixed. Compare chalk, oxide and slate finishes on A01 and L01 under the same projection.
Input and decision
Open the supplied Pivot 01 OBJ in a viewer that supports millimetres. Use the same 65-degree pose and camera for chalk, oxide and slate. Pivot 01 is an original presentation model. Material and mechanical approval require their own evidence.
Set up the comparison
Write the proposed finish against A01 and L01 and leave the base and hinge untouched. Attach real sample IDs when the manufacturer supplies them.
Make the comparison
Pick oxide in the colorway strip and name the two parts receiving it. Give the manufacturer a separate space to enter the swatch number and sample date.
Worked record
The downloadable worksheet includes the records below and a blank row for your own project.
| Part ID | Finish option | Appearance reference | Physical sample | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B01 | Graphite | Base in all three views | Physical sample pending | Fixed for review |
| H01 | Neutral metal | Hinge in all three views | Physical sample pending | Fixed for review |
| A01 | Oxide | Arm in oxide view | Physical sample pending | Proposed |
| L01 | Oxide | Head in oxide view | Physical sample pending | Proposed |
Check the result
A different RGB value in this drawing is an option identifier, not a calibrated material sample. Record the sample sign-off separately.
Hand off the revision
The finish decision names A01 and L01. Send matching-swatch approval to the material owner as a separate item.
Review question
How do I check that a finish change left the geometry intact?
Align and overlay A01 and L01 on the same pivot and camera projection. Their silhouettes should coincide across the three finishes. The physical swatch has its own approval.
Use the task on your own brief
Use a copy of the worksheet to keep the project’s source files, reviewed options and decisions together.
