Our design process

We’d like to share a little bit about the process that goes into designing our products. A lot of time is spent measuring and testing to make sure everything fits and works well for each radio model we make a guard to fit. We are also always evolving our designs to provide the best performance.

Step one - Hands on Design

It all starts with having the radio or radio part in hand which we are designing an accessory to fit.

Step Two - 3D Model

Our next step is to create a 3D model of it. This is done with a 3D scanner.

This gives us a 3D model to start designing our product around.

Step 3 - CAD Design

Next is a lot of time spent in CAD modelling software, drafting a prototype to test basic fit.

Step 4 - 3D Printing Prototypes

Our 3D printers begin to work over time putting out prototypes with small variations to test, to get the best fit we can!

Once we get the basic fit down, we start designing the more fine details and it starts to resemble a more finished product.

Step 6 - Field Testing

Once we are pretty satisfied we have got a good product, we get a few out for field testing, gather feedback and make changes as needed before releasing a new version.

Custom Design

Because of how we manufacture our products, using 3D printing, you will always receive the best and latest version as we do not carry any inventory that we need to first sell. Older versions, if for any reason you preferred those, can still easily be made on request! We can also design a custom guard for your radio even if we currently do not offer your radio model.
