  • Analysis and optimization of material behavior (e.g., flexible plastics / elastomers)
  • Development of new geometries and mechanisms for better grip with maximum comfort
  • Collaboration with injection molding prototyping partners (DFM, wall thicknesses, demolding, etc.)
  • Creation of CAD models and iterative design iterations
  • Development of design variants and new product lines
