RE-DESIGN THE FLAGSHIP METAVISION-10008X TO REFLECT METAL POWER’S INNOVATIVE BRAND IMAGE, WHILE ENSURING IT IS OPTIMIZED FOR EASIER MAINTENANCE, TOOL ACCESS, AND ORGANIZED SERVICING.
Challenge
Metal Power wanted to redesign their Power Unit 10008X to improve transportation, reimagine the overall user experience, and launch a refreshed brand identity that communicates power, precision, and professionalism. Alongside the main unit, a dedicated tool organizer was required to support functionality and usability.
Status - In Market
Insight
The existing product line had a fragmented brand and design language, which failed to reflect Metal Power’s innovative capabilities. By redefining interaction points on the main unit and reorganizing tools for clarity and efficiency, the goal was to create a more intuitive and unified user experience.
Impact
The result set a new benchmark for cohesion, performance, and user satisfaction, delivering a design that is both technically robust and aligned with Metal Power’s forward-looking identity.
Metal Power makes advanced machines that test and analyze metals to find out what they’re made of, helping industries make sure the metal is strong, safe, and just right for their needs.
