Medical Device Enclosure (3D concepts)

Problem

A Human Factors study found that the device's front slide tray could catch a user's lab coat and tip the machine, a serious safety risk. The next release also needed to match the brand's blue thermoplastic edge styling.

Solution

I created 18 candidate enclosure designs in Rhino 3D, each modifying the front geometry to add side guards around the tray. Working within engineering constraints on size and internal layout, the final design resolved the safety risk and matched the brand family look.
