The mechanical complexity of the project, including all of the diverse subsystems, required deep design and engineering expertise for everything from motion control, thermal analysis, chassis and EMI design to ID and early DFM implementation.
Acorn's design and engineering relationship with Purigen provides an excellent model for rapid and responsive product development—from initial concepts to a complete solution, with cutting-edge design for optimal manufacturability.
The multi-disciplinary team drove a holistic system level solution for the platform. Rather than isolated design, engineering, and manufacturing teams, the project team combined their disciplines day-to-day and created a cohesive final product that truly resonates with the market.
