Circuit Refinement

Enclosure Refinement

User Testing


Interaction Design


What is the user experience a person has around your product?

Industrial Design


How can the form factor of the physical design be improved?

Price Point


What would a consumer be willing the spend on your product?

Optimization and Refinement


Cost Reduction


What is the minimum number of components you can use to facilitate the functionality and experience desired from your product?

Material Reduction


Reducing unnecessary material will reduce manufacturing costs as well as be more environmentally responsible.

Miniaturization


You might look at what is not needed as part of the Arduino Uno microcontroller in an effort to miniaturize the space your electronics can fit within (depending on your products needs).
