Problem Statement

HexArmor, a manufacturer of high-performance personal protection equipment (PPE), sought ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ for help with a new product development project.

Specifically, HexArmor needed design engineering skills, plastic part experience, and project management leadership to launch a new full-brim safety helmet.

Build & Verify

During the front end of the design process, HexArmor was working with an engineering and innovation firm and a local injection molder and tool shop. ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ provided project management support to ensure all parties were leveraging their strengths and communicating well.

ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ engineers took the concept-level CAD and updated the designs to make them tool-ready for production. During the process, ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ provided timely feedback from a holistic perspective in terms of making the desired design fit and form, achieving the target price point, and ensuring production feasibility.

ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ engineers worked to integrate two different helmet suspension systems, one of which was HexArmor’s brand new Kinetix® technology. The design met the testing requirements for both suspension system options.

ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ also facilitated several group discussions to address desired functional and design aspects of the end product. ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ provided HexArmor with the expertise and momentum needed to work through some challenging decisions to achieve a smooth launch.
