To demonstrate the potential of the range of materials as realistically as possible, a working car-injector demonstrator was developed. This made it possible to experience the properties of different plastics not only visually but also functionally within a recognisable medical application. From the outset, the ambition was high, and a conscious decision was made to go beyond a static prototype.
By developing a fully functional prototype, the technical complexities were identified and incorporated into the design. This approach ensures that the model not only shows what the product looks like, but also how it performs in practice.
The development process began by exploring several design options, with a focus on achieving the best possible design and user experience within the scope of the demonstration project. A key priority was striking a strong balance between design, functionality and medical applicability.
The extensive use of 3D printing led to an efficient and iterative development process. Starting from an initial concept, the product was developed step by step, with its mechanics and functionality continuously tested and optimised. This resulted in an integrated, production-ready design in which technology, ease of use and aesthetics come together seamlessly.

“The aim of this project was clear, and we deliberately wanted to go beyond a static prototype. By opting for a functional demonstrator, we sought out the technical complexity. That extra effort is directly reflected in the model’s persuasiveness and mirrors the quality and engineering of a real end product.”
