IDC started with the generation of concept ideas and sketches, focusing on the need for modularity
of design. From these concepts, the favoured ideas were further
developed with the creation of full-size
block models.
With the approval of the
design came the detailed industrial design
and engineering to ensure full
modularity, interface with existing
electronics, low production costs and performance to standards.
Fully working prototypes were created by IDC Models. The prototypes were built using vacuum cast plastic components and produced in house with 3D CAD rapid prototype models and silicon tooling.
