I was retained by Verista Imaging, a medical equipment manufacturer which was updating a 15-year-old nuclear imaging system with new software and electronic capabilities, and wanted an all-new branded Industrial Design to convey the increased capabilities compared to the previous product. New covers needed to be designed around existing frames and hardware, but no CAD database existed - only piles of old outdated blueprints. I contracted a mechanical designer to work with me, and we made two trips to the company headquarters in rural Iowa, to take on-site measurements, which we used to create a 3d model of the frame and hardware, and subsequently the exterior covers.

Verista’s management wanted to break out of the traditional medical equipment palette of light grey,
white, and pastel colors, which I accomplished through the use of black and silver. To allow for the very low quantities of these devices sold each year, all the covers were designed specifically for the FRP process, which is very well-suited to large parts and low production quantities.
