Cerevellum
posted by parel
The Cerevellum Hindsight is the brainchild of industrial designer Evan Solida. It is a bike-mounted digital rear-view computer. The project here involved implementation of Evan’s ideas. Leveraging his experience with biking products and ours with consumer electronics, we were able to engineer a prototype that was Bikebiz.com’s Product of the Show at Interbike 2011. CAD was implemented in Solidworks and rendered in Modo Regular updates and communication helped ideas flow smoothly. Evan is a great designer to work with. The concept work he had executed in Rhino was a very strong foundation to build from. The design was...

The knee-jerk might be to start adding details first, but on all these tools, the styling is an extension of the intense engineering of the internal components. My general direction is to imagine a blackhole at the center of the tool crushing parts together and sucking air out. Video of tool...

X4 Circular Saw

The X-series circular saws are always a blast to work with. This one in particular is an awesome generation. It uses a faster motor to start with, but the cumulative efforts of weeks of optimizing geometry really paid off in the end. We added a deflector to the exhaust so that the cut-line was cleared. The bevel indicator has an embedded spring detent that clicks to major...
