Hero Arm Covers

Bristol, UK
My Role:
Industrial Design, Product Visualisation, Design for Manufacture
Tools Used:
Blender 3D, Adobe Suite, 3D Printing
In addition to the licensed cover designs, I also created a range of original cover designs for the Hero Arm.
Cost constraints meant that these covers could not feature multi-colour graphics, so I relied on embossing textured details to give each design its distinctive personality. Since the Hero Arm is custom-made to fit each patient's arm, the designs also had to be adaptable enough to conform to different shapes & sizes of arm.
I developed a robust 3D design method to apply the designs onto the varied customer arms, and trained the "Configuration Engineers" at Open Bionics to put it into practice.
