Challenge & Selection

I work in a medical device industry. My role is dedicated to design tools and fixtures that make the  production easier for product builders. Visualization is a tool I always need, because requests can come  from any area and many ideas are brought to the table. Visualization tools help to brainstorm many  possibilities and dedicate more time into designs that are previously analyzed.

Application

To help people visualize ideas, the design team uses sketches on paper and on CAD programs. When a  request is made, the team supports each other to find the better solution. Everyone makes up a drawing  with an idea and presents it to the rest of the team. Accuracy is not that important in this stage because  the goal is to come up with the best solution.

Insight

Usually each designer develops the request for themselves, but doing it with the whole group, brings a  lot more of creativity to the table. It reduces re-design time because some people on the team may have  done something similar in the past. It also helps people connect more with the problem and think  outside the box.

Approach

The idea of visualization helps a team be more aware and creative. It is important to invest on tools to  help make brainstorming easier. I would have a room with a board, legos, ipads and more to help the  team visualize easily the fixture they need to create.
