Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply. I have also received your email, your work is very interesting. It looks like you have been very much into industrial design which is good.
This project is a bit different from industrial design, as we are designing a consumer device.
The main material would be plastic, the number of screws and metallic parts has to be minimized. Ideally two parts that fit together, but if you find a way of doing it with less parts or with a cheaper material, that would be great.
The main goal is to minimize cost, this is imperative for the device to be manufactured actually.
The casing would be similar in size to that of the comercial PMP that everybody has in their pockets today, but you are free to innovate with the design as long as you keep the cost low, nice aesthetics and ergonomy.
You would produce files to be sent to the manufacturing subcontractor.
Tell me what you think, if you find it feasible, what do you need, and any ideas you have.
Best regards.
