Industrial design review · Production guide

Hand approved product renders from industrial design to marketing

Hand over the assembled source view, part IDs, selected finish and any excluded angles. Identify whether the asset is a drawing, a render or a photographed prototype.

Input and decision

Include viewing units, model revision, chosen pose and the supplied product marks. Explicitly identify concept imagery so marketing does not describe it as a photograph. Pivot 01 is an original presentation model. Material and mechanical approval require their own evidence.

Set up the comparison

Open the OBJ and verify its object names against the asset list. Export a small test image and let the marketing designer point to the part they intend to change.

Make the comparison

Open the OBJ once with millimetres selected and check for four named objects. Supply the SVG separately with its finish name and approved crop.

Check the result

Marketing should not add an unmodeled connector, invent a working mechanism or present an appearance sample as an engineering sign-off.

Hand off the revision

Identify the SVG as presentation artwork when handing it to marketing. Keep the model and parameter file alongside it.

Review question

Which file should a recipient open to change the arm angle?

Edit the arm-angle parameter in the SCAD file. The OBJ exchanges the static, named geometry in millimetres, while the SVG shows one appearance option.

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.
