Lighting Concept Development and Appearance Design

At HIBANA, product design is a meticulous and structured process that begins with concept development, guided by customer requirements and market research. Industrial design plays a pivotal role in shaping the aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturability of our lighting products. Our goal is to create innovative and visually striking designs while ensuring that each product meets performance standards and aligns with industry trends.

The process starts with understanding customer needs, market preferences, and technical constraints. Our design team carefully evaluates various aspects, including target market demands, cost structures, raw material selection, design language, functional requirements, and light presentation. These considerations are essential to creating a product that is not only visually appealing but also practical, efficient, and optimized for manufacturing. We believe that great design is not just about aesthetics but also about delivering a seamless user experience and ensuring long-term durability.

To streamline our design workflow, we employ a suite of advanced industrial design software that enables us to generate, analyze, and refine design concepts with precision. These digital tools allow us to explore multiple design iterations, visualize aesthetics, and test form and function before moving forward with physical prototyping. By leveraging 3D modeling and rendering capabilities, we can simulate different lighting effects, material finishes, and structural details, ensuring that the final product meets both visual and technical expectations.

One of the key advantages of our design approach is the ability to engage in effective, real-time communication with our customers. By sharing digital design models and renderings, we facilitate collaboration, allowing clients to provide feedback and make informed decisions early in the development process. This reduces the need for costly design revisions and accelerates time-to-market.

CATIA V5

CATIA V5 is one of the most comprehensive CAD software solutions, widely used for product design and engineering across industries. This tool allows us to create complex 3D models with high precision, ensuring that each component fits perfectly within the final product. CATIA V5 offers advanced surface modeling capabilities, making it ideal for designing sleek and ergonomic products. Additionally, it supports parametric design, which enables quick modifications and optimizations based on engineering requirements. Our designers also use CATIA V5 for virtual prototyping, reducing the need for physical testing and accelerating the design cycle.

Unigraphics NX (Siemens NX)

Unigraphics NX, now known as Siemens NX, is a powerful CAD/CAM/CAE solution that integrates design, engineering, and manufacturing processes. Our industrial design team relies on NX for parametric and direct modeling, allowing them to create both simple and complex geometries efficiently. One of the standout features of NX is its real-time simulation capabilities, enabling designers to test product behavior under different conditions before manufacturing. The software also supports collaborative design, allowing multiple engineers to work on a project simultaneously, ensuring seamless integration between design and production teams.

Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud is an essential tool for our industrial designers, particularly for visual design, rendering, and presentation. Software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator helps in creating detailed concept sketches, user interfaces, and marketing visuals. Adobe Dimension allows for realistic 3D rendering and mockups, giving stakeholders a clear visualization of the final product. This suite of tools helps bridge the gap between technical design and visual storytelling, ensuring that our products are not only functional but also aesthetically compelling.
