Go! Baby
GO! Baby is the smaller, lighter, lower cost version of the original GO! Fabric Cutter. Pump worked with AccuQuilt’s internal team and industrial designers from start-to-finish, providing mechanical architectural layouts, material selection, and support through prototyping and production ramp-up. With lessons-learned and the background knowledge from the original GO! Fabric Cutter, we were able to focus […]
Go! Big
With the success of their GO! and GO! Baby fabric cutters, AccuQuilt’s next evolution envisioned making the GO! motorized. Once again Pump provided the full mechanical engineering design support from initial concepts into production. We worked with AccuQuilt and their industrial design partner to incorporate a motorized drive train and sophisticated safety features into a reliable product that is […]
Connect for Hololens
Trimble Connect for Hololens utilizes mixed-reality technology, allowing workers to view virtual design information precisely overlaid in the context of a physical industrial setting, such as a construction job site. In order to achieve this, Trimble approached Pump Studios for a reliable solution that allows their customers to comfortably wear the Microsoft Hololens while also […]
XR10 with Hololens 2
In January 2018, Trimble launched the first and only Microsoft supported integration of a hard hat + Hololens, developed at Pump Studios. This integrated solution was so successful that it was clear there was a strong market demand for mixed reality in environments that require PPE (personal protection equipment). With this success, Microsoft and Trimble partnered early on […]
HoloTint
The Hololens is an augmented reality headset that is designed to be used in an office environment. However, there are so many useful applications in the construction environment for mixed reality that Trimble partnered with Microsoft to develop a construction suitable version (the XR10) which we were excited to help develop. The XR10 allows the Hololens technology to be paired […]
Kickflip
In designing the Kickflip, Bluelounge solved a problem of laptop ergonomics, with an integrated, compact design that maintains portability. Pump worked with Bluelounge and their manufactures to develop an over center mechanism which provides two definitive positions (flat against the computer and pivoted open). The toughest constraint was designing a mechanism to fit within the slim […]
Saidoka
Pump worked with Bluelounge to develop this unique dock that allows an iPhone to be used and charged while in a horizontal position. The dock supports the phone at an ergonomic keyboard angle allowing users the ability to effectively use their phone while docked. The major challenges addressed in the design included creating a dock that could […]
Portiko
The Portiko is a visually pleasing, and highly functional extension cord, that unlike your average orange tangle, looks right at home in your environment. The design by Bluelounge allows users to showcase and elegantly store the cord when not in use, and provides USB charging directly from the business end of the cord. Pump worked closely with […]
MiniDock
Bluelounge had perfected the industrial design for their MiniDock, but was faced with the challenge of making the device manufacturable while maintaining the design aesthetic. The internal layout required for product functionality and the overall part shape presented a unique challenge. Pump worked with Bluelounge and their manufacturing partner to create a design that hid fasteners […]
Milo
Bluelounge came to Pump with the design for a sleek micro-suction smartphone stand. The engineering challenge was discovering an assembly method that concealed any fasteners while maintaining a rigid feel. The stand also needed to be cost effective to manufacture without compromising the design aesthetic represented by the Bluelounge brand. We collaborated with Bluelounge to deliver […]
