Consumer products :: Cordless heated foam cutter
Our client identified that the cables leading from heated foam cutting hand tools somewhat limited their use, especially around larger models or sculptures. We were asked to design a cordless unit with a range of accessories. By analysing current products and performing user checks, we were able to identify areas for innovation. The design of the over-moulded case was challenging along with condensing the electronics into a small package taking into consideration all the safety factors.
Challenges...
Anything that produces heat purposely is challenging to design around. Heating elements need to be integrated into designs in such a way that there is no risk of parts nearby being affected by the heat they produce. Heating elements also require strong electrical power that can create problems with current transfer and electrical contacts.

Did you know...
Common power supplies that convert mains voltage into extra low voltage can contain more components for electrical noise and suppression than they do for actually converting the voltage. Switch mode power supplies operate at high frequencies and can generate electrical noise. Although they are far more efficient and compact when compared to other power conversion systems, a lot of their cost is in components for noise suppression.
