A clean, repeatable way to mount and route four USB extension cables at a professional trading desk — designed entirely from a one-line brief, then batch printed for installation.
Our client needed a tidy, durable way to present and hold four USB extension cables in a fixed installation, where off-the-shelf hardware simply didn’t fit the space or the cables they were using.
There was no existing model to work from — just a short brief and a reference image. We designed the entire part from first principles, prototyped it, and once approved, produced a full batch ready to install.
We translated a single-sentence brief into a fully parametric 3D model. Working from first principles meant every dimension was driven by the real cables and the space the unit had to live in — not adapted from an existing product.
The finished part isn’t just functional — it’s detailed. Chamfered edges, clearly numbered ports and a clean fascia make the unit easy to use and pleasant to look at in a professional setting. Identification and styling can be tailored to any brand.
Rather than glue or fasteners, the enclosure is engineered as a two-part assembly that locates and retains each connector and its cable securely. It goes together cleanly and stays put — the kind of detail that separates a printed part from a real product.
After validating the fit on prototypes, we moved to a repeatable production setup and printed the full batch to a consistent standard — ready to be installed straight out of the box.
The result is a bespoke product, not a compromise: tidy, robust, branded to suit, and producible in any quantity. It’s a good example of how we take a vague idea and turn it into a finished, manufacturable part — handling the design, the engineering and the production end to end.
