Carry the instrument.
One payload and a 30-minute hover target defined the decision.
ARCHEION STUDIO · INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Shape the concept.
Clarify the decision.
Industrial design informed by engineering. We turn an early hardware intent into clear, comparable design candidates that a team can review and develop.

01
Selected case · frozen V0
The design looked resolved. The decision was still open.
A civil inspection concept arrived with a 1 kg instrument payload, a 30-minute hover requirement and its own calculated estimate. The review kept the exact delivered geometry and asked what the margin depended on.
Keep the exact CAD.
The native and STEP files reopened as 197 valid parts and solids. No revised shape replaced V0.
Test the assumption.
The installation factor was varied while geometry and battery stayed fixed.
Make the margin visible.
The nominal calculation clears 30 minutes; the sensitivity does not. The requirement remains to be demonstrated by the appropriate system tests.
Same frozen CAD. Calculated results, not flight-tested performance. This review did not establish structural integrity, control stability or manufacturing readiness.

Services
Design work that makes the next engineering move easier.
A strong concept gives form to the intent, exposes the meaningful choices and leaves the team with something concrete to evaluate.
Exploratory conception
Translate a brief, use case and physical constraints into a coherent visual direction for the product.
- Concept architecture
- Form and proportion studies
- Design intent for review
Variant comparison
Put distinct candidates in the same frame so trade-offs can be discussed with precision.
- Comparable views
- Decision-focused annotations
- Design review material
Prototype preparation
Refine the selected direction into a clear handoff for the next modelling, engineering or physical-prototype stage.
- Resolved presentation geometry
- Key interfaces and open questions
- Prototype review pack
03
Approach
Keep form and evidence in the same conversation.
Identify the use, constraints and decision the concept must support.
Build candidates with a consistent visual and engineering frame of reference.
Show what is resolved, what differs and what the next stage still needs to establish.
Scope of the Studio work
Studio work supports concept definition and design decisions. Certification, manufacturability and physical performance depend on the engineering development and testing appropriate to the product. The aircraft image above uses the exact frozen V0 source geometry; lighting and ground are presentation elements.
