Portable biometrical terminal "Papillon DIPP-6"

Changing a component — changing design
Stage #1

Task

What can you do when a manufacturer of electronic components suddenly stops producing the necessary display? Make modifications to the design? Stop the device production?

Anyway, it is a good opportunity for upgrading the case design.

We are modifying the appearance of a portable terminal "Papillon DPP-6".

Here is a new display. It is bigger than the previous one:

Stage #3

Case design development

3D-modeling
We are modeling an upgraded case. The display is no longer the same:
Stage #4

Engineering

CAD-modeling
The next step is design development. A new case will have enough space for the display and the stylus.
And also for a strap: for some reason, it is an integral part of many devices.
Такой ремешок — почему-то неотъемлемая часть многих приборов
Stage #5

Prototype

We completed the design and started making a prototype.
… and the terminal is successfully launched into mass production.
— The Customer's approach to the development is professional: the company doesn't just analyze their own devices, but also the perspective devices of their competitors; they try to predict how the devices would change in several years and on the basis of these predictions, they plan and organize their production.
