Surface Pro 8
Modeled for Microsoft using PTC Creo and Autodesk Alias
Design for Manufacturability
-
Technical surface design
Dozens of iterations were modeled to create a vent volume that maintains visual consistency on the product while allowing for machinability on 3-axis CNC.
-
Design integration
The final vent cutouts read similarly along both the top/sides of the product and the corner, without requiring any CNC operations not feasible for production.
-
Complete product
The completed product in appropriate materials represents a clean look consistent with the design thinking that took place behind the scenes.
