Background

​

Thanks to prototyping on SLS Sinterit Lisa printer, the company ELEcTOR produced voting pilot in a faster, easier and better way. The final product is now used to pass resolutions in Government institutions, make decisions at Supervisory Board meetings, manage tests and questionnaires during lectures and conferences.

ELEcTOR is specialising in wireless voting systems for picking votes, automatic calculating of votes after which the results are immediatelly presented in graphical visuals. Company wanted to have the device which would not only be useful and reliable but also attractive, from the design point of view so they decided to make some prototypes in 3D printing with Sinterit Lisa  in order to prepare the best voting pilot in a faster and better way.

“Our goal was to create the best possible physical case for handheld mobile voting terminals. We wanted to incorporate years of experience in building, modifying and using third-party components in production process, while maintaining low cost footprint.

In the past we used time-consuming adaptation, cutting, drilling and screwing of cases available on the market. Still the result was lacking in ergonomics and looks. When we decided to create a new case we were unsure of some aspects of the design, e.g. proportions and shape, the way it will feel when gripped in hand, placement and size of mounting for ribbon, labels, etc.

It was also important to minimize time and manual operations involved in production process. We came up with several specially crafted structures and slits on the case, which make it easy to integrate together with our IC board, keyboard, battery slot and cover, LEDs, etc.

The scale of our production implied necessity to create plastic injection mould and considering its high cost we had to carefully prototype the model using cheaper technologies.” ELEcTOR Company
