DSC Design & Engineering Case Study:
Razor Cartridge Cover Development & DtC Razor Case Development
Razor Cartridge Cover Development:
In 3 months, designed and engineered a cartridge cover that worked seamlessly with both 4 and 6 blade razor cartridges, each with different dimensions. Worked with a 3rd part manufacture to produce and test the designs. Once locked, handed off CAD data to DSC for production.
The Challenge:
Production cartridge covers for the new DSC 4 and 6 blade Razors were popping off
Here’s an example of how my design expertise saved DSC from significant additional expense. The supplier was prepared to redesign the cover, which would have delayed the launch by 6 to 8 months. However, by analyzing the 3D data provided, I identified the issue as a manufacturing process error rather than a design flaw. This insight prevented an unnecessary redesign and testing phase, saving both time and money.
Final Outcome:
Both projects had tight deadlines. I handled the design, engineering, and testing. This reduced development time and risk, while also reducing development costs.
DtC Razor Case Development:
The brief was to design a vacuum formed case, engineered to reduce damage and injury to consumer tester. It needed to survive direct-to-consumer transit, while being cost effective. After multiple prototypes were built to refine the design, partnered with Vacuum form supplier to pull the part in a production environment. After a few cycles of refinements, the parts were ready for manufacturing design lock and went into production.
