This award winning Water Bath is part of a new product line of temperature control equipment. We worked closely with PolyScience's engineering staff to improve upon the existing units and better understand assembly and service requirements.

The ideation process included concept renderings and screen images of the new product line to evaluate different design languages. The chosen concept was further developed by creating prototype geometry using SolidWorks. The resulting part files were shared with our client for further review. A prototype model was built to ensure aesthetics, fit, finish, function and service of the new units.

The new line of circulating water baths conveys a sophisticated yet commercial design language. Human factors, assembly and service drove the basic functionality of the industrial design priorities.

This ergonomic design integrates convenient handles for ease of repositioning the units. The new products are designed with a unique lid docking system to store the reservoir cover. This design element eliminates mess when adding or removing liquid and samples. A corrosion and chemical resistant top plate dampens noise and remains cooler at high temperatures.

The compact design of the control head occupies a minimum of reservoir space to provide more room for liquid and samples. The control head can be rotated within a 180-degree radius. The operator can also easily view the temperatures with the large digital display.

The intuitive interface design makes the units simple to operate. Their LCD touchscreen technology features an icon driven interface to guide users through setup and operation. The operator can easily scroll through menus, functions and options, even while wearing gloves.

The units are easy to maintain. The design team incorporated a front mount drain and washable air filter to simplify maintenance.

Cesaroni Design worked with Bunn-O-Matic Corporation on the development of this high-end consumer coffeemaker with a stainless steel thermal carafe. Multiple aesthetic design options for the new coffeemaker were illustrated as renderings to assist the design team in evaluating various forms. Aesthetic refinement continued with the development of the prototype model.

The chosen design fits easily under kitchen cabinets on countertop depths. The design incorporates BUNN's brewing system that improves coffee extraction and flavor. The contemporary graphite black housing is complemented by stainless steel and silver accents. Its die-cast aluminum base supports the stainless steel carafe and wraps around encompassing the reservoir.

The round decanter lid at the top of the coffeemaker easily pivots open, and provides a large area to pour water. A stainless steel funnel effortlessly slides into place with the help of tapered glides. The double-wall stainless steel carafe features a convenient slide-and-brew lid with a soft ergonomic grip.

This device is used by court reporters to document testimony in legal proceedings. Joint efforts from Stenograph's engineering staff and Cesaroni Design developed the smallest and lightest machine on the market, weighing only 4.5 pounds.

We worked closely with our client from initial concepts through prototype build to ensure that modifications to the current model, such as overall size reduction, weight reduction, part reduction, etc., worked well together.

Graceful curves sculpted in the enclosure create an elegant form. The enclosure lends itself to a clamshell part breakup while producing a desirable color composition.

The project team used a minimum amount of material to reduce the overall product weight. Cesaroni Design's product designers employed a single wall construction on the key deck, making the top of the bottom and the bottom of the top. We met highly specific durometers on several parts for tactile details and noise reduction. All parts mount to a die-cast aluminum chassis to reduce part count and simplify assembly.

This device features a 60% larger LCD display, as compared to the previous model, for optimum viewing. Integrating this design component into the new product was particularly challenging for the design team since the weight of the device needed to be reduced. A new mechanism adjusts the display to improve readability in different lighting conditions. The flat panel folds face down to protect the screen when not in use.

A critical design element for a courtroom setting is the noise keystrokes produce. Key levers are designed to suppress the sound of each key stroke. Located on each side of the top enclosure are two thumb wheels that change the tension and depth of the keyboard. Function buttons are strategically placed above the keyboard for users to interact with onscreen menus. The recessed back panel gives the user access to the plug deck for data storage, file transfer and audio capabilities.
