Anycubic Photon Nex

Anycubic Photon Nex is a three-dimensional printer designed for desktop use. The printer includes an automatic leveling function, so the platform reaches a horizontal position without manual adjustment. The first printed layer therefore bonds well to the platform. A built-in ultra-quiet driver chip keeps the operating noise below 45 decibels, so printing in a bedroom does not disturb rest. One button opens the front cover, which slides upward without manual effort. The silver-gray body follows a simple form inspired by spaceship cabins and portholes.

Hg

HG is a door lever handle based on the simple shape of a triangle. The design reduces the handle to a minimal triangular form that leaves a strong impression. The neck and the grip are integrated into one continuous body, so the triangular theme is kept along the whole handle. Every viewing angle shows triangular surfaces. The form is sculpted so that the handle remains comfortable and safe to hold. HG is made of anodised aluminium and plated brass and is offered in several finishes to suit different interior themes.

Robot

Robot is a door handle designed as a small architecture. The shape recalls a simple profile from which surfaces extend and rotate to give the right grip for the palm and the thumb. A horizontal plane protrudes from the top so the palm can push the handle down, while the main surface extends in two directions to invite the thumb to push forward. Squared shapes and sharp corners let the handle blend with the architectural environment. The handle is made from one piece of brass, offered in polished chrome, satin chrome, satin graphite or matt black enamel finishes.

Punto

Punto is a door handle designed for everyday doors. The form of Punto comes from research into historical handles and their shapes. The proportions follow a constant ratio of one to two, and this relation links all the geometries of the handle. Punto measures 150 by 60 by 50 millimetres. The handle is made by die casting in aluminium or in brass. Aluminium versions are powder coated, while brass versions are polished or chromed. The simplified shape helps the user read at once how the door is opened.

Camera Vista

Camera Vista is a compact camera device made for shelf or fridge mounting in supermarkets. Camera Vista detects out of stock items, planogram non-compliance, foreign products and pricing errors, so the performance of coolers and shelves can be tracked in real time. The housing is injection moulded ABS in seven connected parts and measures 170 by 32 by 50 millimetres. Two cameras can be angled during assembly to suit different distances and mountings. One adaptable model replaces several designs, which lowers moulding and stock costs.

FY

FY is an air floating carrying case designed to move heavy loads on the ground. The complete set weighs about 25 kilograms and can move objects of up to 16 tons. Compressed air is supplied to four air floating modules, and a thin film of air is formed under each module to reduce friction. No assembly tools and no consumables are needed, and the floor is not damaged during handling. The movement is free of shaking, which protects both the workers and the transferred objects. FY can be used alone or together with gantry cranes and forklifts.
