Résumé : |
Water treatment systems are not generally synonymous with aesthetic design. However, for the softliQ water-softening unit from Grünbeck, a new look meant unimagined market success. The trick was a luminescent green ring of a specially matched compound. In personal discussions in Höchstädt, Germany, the product developers and compounders explained how color and transparency can be cost-effectively combined. |

- Better than drinking water quality
- The design of the openning
- Not only green, but luminescent green
- Predictive mold design
- Fig. 1 : The original systems made by the manu-facturer were purely functional in design. "The designers didn't get a look in," remembers Finger. For the redesign, no further specifications were made except for the installation space required
- Fig. 3 : The mold and its components. The previous simple green-pigmented ABS ring and the translucent PMMA ring can be manufactured in the same mold
- Fig. 4 : Due to the green pigments, there was an iregular shadow in the glowing PMMA ring
- Fig. 5 : The light source consisted of a conventional siliconized, glowing green LED strip, which is bonded into the plastic component |
