Transformed the wand into a precision hand-tool without compromising functionality.
Conducted an in-depth study of both the plaster casting and proposed digital process and quickly realized that the hand-tool needed to be significantly leaner and lighter. The key was research knowing exactly what the user needed and exactly where the current design fell short.
Reworked the shape and moved components from the hand-tool to the base unit. Trimmed the tool down so that it was not only comfortable in the hand, but could also be precisely manipulated to scan the teeth.
Ensured a simple, elegant and compact form factor, so that orthodontists wouldn't feel they were adding a piece of clunky machinery to their already-limited spaces.
