HBC Remote Control

In cooperation with HBC Radiomatic, the aim of this project was to design a radio remote control including a tablet insert. Following ergonomic studies, including using percentile figures, the ideal placement of the tablet was determined and the operating elements were designed around it. The new generative design technique was used in this project. This resulted in perfect material distribution in terms of force distribution and an exciting design.
