3D-modeling Before tooling start, CAD drawing is the most important work, we communicate d with customer to ensure every curve and surface achieve their target. Also have to co-work with mechanical engineer and tooling supplier to make sure it's workable for mass production. In the case of bulldog, due to build for student, the curve and surface have to be full for fear scratching hand.
tooling analyst The tooling analyst is another important thing, plastic injection may come about cosmetic issue, such wielding line or stress mark. Before tooling start, those things should be discussed clearly.

Mockup review
Soft cover study
Mockup can reveal our product real in feature before tooling start. Bulldog mockup appear scratching hand and IO door hard to open issues. So we can modify CAD drawing before tooling.
HP plan develop bulldog’s accessory ’’smart cover’’. We study the rational size at 30 degree open angle. And advice the thick and material of cover.
30°
Drive manufacturing quality The manufacturing process of bulldog is relatively simple. The top cover of slate is made of TPU double injection. The challenge is adjusting the TPU color to match standard plastic color chip. And the connect pin is made of die-casting. We spend much time studying the finish of die-casting. Finally we found plating is better due to anti-abration.

3D-modeling Drive curve
Try the best to make the side-view thinner as possible. Due to the LCD panel and battery in base, that would be limited.
Background
Id’s request for B/C gap is smaller as possible, that will look more delicate. We cut the LCD cover as chamfer and make a surface at bezel corner.
Mockup review
3x3 matrix chips
Less issues appear on this mockup review. But the rounding on the edge is soft and spiritless, we are not sure is the mockup tech over polishing or real soft edge. It need to be checked after tooling.
It costs a lot of time and energy to make a golden matrix chips. If the range is too big the color torrance is unacceptable, we take a lot of time to get consensus between customer and supplier.

Mockup review
Through the clip on goggle, the external silicone parts can protect the mp3 body, the design focus easy to use, low cost
The dimension still need to adjust, the curve on the side is not smooth enough. The height and size of the button is too small.
DOPHIN 2.0 PLUS
Clip The transparent silicone cover the mp3 body for protecting, with the PC clip parts can be rotated 360 degrees, it’s user-friendly.
Mechanism Spent a lot of time to communicate with engineers to design product, but also experience the design process like polishing rock, hard work brings good results.

Concept snub It’s the best concept I propose in this waterproof mp3 proposals. But in the end, the CEO didn’t select the concept to the market due to cost concern. I think it’s a pity.
From Stingray The concept comes from the stingray. The thin, streamline, elegant assimilate into design language.
Feature User can house the earphone cable into the side groove of the stingray mp3.
