Studio System - Fabricating a Part

Initial user journey

Findings & Iteration

• ID tags to the parts needed more exploring due to the variant nature of parts - scrapped for MVP

• Tracking each part through sintering was not feasible due to the many ways users process their parts. Instead, the ability for user to enter data or create a custom profile at the furnace was added

• The amount of time needed to go through the 3 step process proved too long. Engineering team found a way to forego the debinder and added a thermal debind as part of the furnace process

Studio Order Process

Workflow to clarify order to fulfillment process

Furnace

Due to the complicated nature of setting up parts for sintering, close collaboration and multiple iterations of the user journey had to be established before design. Shown is one of many versions.
