The desktop storage system is made of aluminum alloy. One of the main characteristics of aluminum alloy is light weight and high strength, and is also environmental-friendly. The material properties of recycled aluminum and brand-new aluminum are completely the same, and it is almost an endless material.
The product has experienced countless design plans in the early stage. In order to provide users with a better storage experience, they studied all the items on the market that can be placed on the table: pencils, ballpoint pens, pens, brushes, rulers, U disks, even business cards, envelopes, paper clips, etc. Thinking about the installation method of countless arrangements, the insertion gap is also entangled many times between 1mm and 5mm, and finally set at 3.5mm.
“Based on this size, all modules can be plugged and assembled in any form, which lays the foundation for a desktop city.”
This storage combination also has many expansion functions. It can be combined horizontally and vertically, connecting up and down at will. Whether it is a desktop hub, mobile phone, iPad or Nintendo Switch, the solid aluminum material can provide sufficient support for it.
In order to shorten the product development cycle and quickly verify the feasibility of the product structure, the low-cost, green and environmentally friendly 3D printing technology was finally selected for the verification of the prototype.
The prototypes are printed in resin with SLA 3D Printers. In the old days, the prototypes are made with wood, PMMA or other plastic plates manually, which is quite tiring and cost a lot of days. With the help of 3D printing, the designers of the desktop storage system can optimize their plans over and over and choose the best one from those resin models.
