The Medical Cryo Project
Hardline Design partnered with premium phone case manufacturer Edge to develop high-end aluminum iPhone cases, combining refined industrial design, precision CAD modeling, and design-for-manufacturing support for a durable, premium consumer product.
THE PHONE CASE PROJECT
The client needed a stronger, easier-to-use hitch lock that could be manufactured efficiently and affordably. We developed the industrial design around improved security, usability, and design-for-manufacturing requirements, then worked closely with the overseas manufacturer to preserve the design intent through production.

How We Work
A simple transparent process from sketch to shipping.

Design. Sketching, 3D scan, CAD surfacing, CMF, and prototyping until the form, fit and function are right.
Deliver. Full DFM package and hands-on support with your manufacturer so the product you ship matches the one we designed.
Most engagements run 8-16 weeks. Fixed scope or retainer.
