A minimal footprint with smooth lines was a key consideration in the design of a stylish enclosure for laser scanning confocal imaging system
Synbiosis choose rigid polyurethane for the enclosure over other traditional plastics as the uncertainty of any new market suggested heavy tooling investments imprudent.
In the early stages, the inexpensive moulds used in the polyurethane process enabled changes, either necessary for functional performance or merely desirable for profile, to be easily realised.
The designed contours mask a complex shape, determined partly by ergonomic considerations.
A smooth recess for the switch, a precision cut-out for the removable specimen plate, and a shallow indentation for the logo are all accommodated.
Rigid polyurethane will accept a smooth paint finish or the textured random dapple effect.
