Industrial design presentations for hardware teams

Present form, finish and movement from one approved model. Give the product lead a decision board that identifies the parts affected by each option.

Original study

Pivot 01 is an original four-piece lamp study. The exploded drawing identifies the base, hinge, arm and light head. The second sheet shows a 45° presentation pose measured from the model axis.

Pivot 01 exploded into B01, H01, A01 and L01.

Source files

Prepare the review

  1. Export a fixed-camera view from the source model. Keep the revision, units and part IDs with each export so a reviewer can reproduce it.
  2. Keep the base and hinge fixed. Assign chalk, oxide or slate to the arm and head, then place the alternatives on a single board under the same light.
  3. Add the 25°, 45° and 65° poses in order. Record the selected finish and the joint clearance that needs an engineering check before tooling.

What can the product lead sign off from these boards?

The lead can pick a finish and a pose to develop. Test joint clearance in the CAD assembly and confirm the selected finish on a physical sample.
