			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our most recent set of displays for <a title="SCA Americas" href="http://www.torkusa.com" target="_blank">SCA Americas</a> were designed as a cost-effective solution to display products and literature to visitors entering the lobby space on the 24th floor of the Cira Center.  This set of four freestanding displays use aluminum, maple hardwood, high quality PVC board, and custom laser cut clear acrylic to match the beautiful Swedish interior design of the SCA office&#8217;s.</p>
<p><a href="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0226.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-443];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-444" title="101_0226" src="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0226-90x75.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></a> <a href="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0212.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-443];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-445" title="101_0212" src="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0212-90x75.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></a> <a href="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0227.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-443];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-446" title="101_0227" src="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0227-90x75.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></a> <a href="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0213.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-443];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-458" title="101_0213" src="http://studiokmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101_0213-90x75.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></a></p>
<p>Maple veneered slat-wall with adjustable literature holders also hold 3 maple shelves to display freestanding products while laser cut acrylic pegboard panels provide a versatile mounting solution for wall-mounted products.  A &#8220;Welcome&#8221; display was designed to hold interchangeable printed material to provide information to visitors.  Using a slim plastic hinge and inset magnets as a seamless &#8220;latch&#8221;, information can be easily added or removed.  We also utilized our vinyl cutter, creating SCA&#8217;s logo using etched glass transparent vinyl.</p>

<p>All aluminum fabrication was once again expertly handled by our friends at <a title="RaceSeng Design" href="http://www.racesengdesign.com/prototype.php" target="_blank">RaceSeng Design</a>.  To get an idea of the level of detail these guys think at, check out the fastener detail on the back of the displays (pictured below).  RaceSeng also sourced the powder coating, giving the bright white finish protection from UV damage in the sunny SCA lobby.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Fast Freeze was a fully functional Prototype built as a proof of concept for our client to raise investment capital.  It was designed to cool wine, beer, soda or any other round bottle to drinking temperature rapidly and also dispensed ice and cold water.  He was heading to the International Home and Housewares show so we also whipped up a logo and some vinyl graphics for him.</p>
<p>The body of the prototype consists of brushed aluminum panels, aluminum hardware, laser cut and thermo-formed PMMA panels.  The internal components included three water tight PMMA chambers, a removable sealed ball bearing rotational chilling assembly as well as a custom silicon cast duel chamber ice maker.</p>
<p>The prototype contains 3 pump, 1motor, 5buttons, 1 switch, 2 temperature sensors and a handful of relays.  They were all controlled by 2 Arduino micro controllers.  The full functionality of the Fast Freeze was coded in the Arduino development environment by Studio KMD.  The code used in this project is available upon request to help advance this type of physical prototyping.</p>
