Creating a visual and tactile adventure that excites, instructs, and instills lasting wonder begins with a process.
On this page, you will find a sample of a process used for one of the elements of Boston Scientific’s multi-million dollar renovation to one of their manufacturing facility.
Once the goals were established, green requirements outlined, the excitement tamed, and the nuts and bolts of the location considered, rewritten, and defined within the parameters of the budget and reality, it is time to generate a concept that will astound, but more importantly tell the story accurately and resonate with the audience.
In order to link materials, like plastic, ink, and metal to emotion, in this example, the displays were outfitted with a beating heart and the ability to control a catheter from the position of a physician.
Taking it to the next level, layers of translucent material with various layers of the human body were stacked above the digital aspect of the display, while ensuring accessibility.
One of the primary elements to achieve this was a set of tables that would display and explain new products to physicians, investors, and internal employees who rarely saw the result of their hard work.
To present the concept to the development team, so everyone could understand the space, a scale model was created using printed and folded paper, providing a dimensional visual that stakeholders could walk through prior to generating the engineering drawings.
Multiple materials and vendors were considered and used for this section of the project, to include:
• Hi-Mac Solid Surface
• Komatex (3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 19mm, 25mm)
• Acrylic (Clear & P95 – 6mm, 10mm & 19mm – Flame Polished Edges
• Aluminum
• Aluminum Standoffs & Caps (Multiple Sizes) – Painted
• Vinyl
Multiple processes, to include:
• CNC
• Welding
• Powdercoating
• Aluminum
• Digital Printing – Direct & Adhered
Digital elements:
• LED Monitors
• Mini PCs (windows 10)
• ipad
Adding to the space was a proposed 75″ touchscreen panel and interactive cleanroom kiosk.
Every project, whether it requires dimensional, digital, or print elements, goes through a rigorous process to ensure stakeholders and users alike get what is required to achieve success.
