Modern electronic products are all minimalist.
We often reminisce about the heavily mechanical digital products of our childhood, truly classics.
Thus, the "TECH" series was born, a kit series guided by the style of retro digital products.

Design Approach
"Good design is practical."
Initially, the design was complex, with over 30 components. This significantly increased the cost.
Through discussion, we gradually established "front view as primary, bottom and sides as secondary" as our first design principle;
"Form serving function, minimizing or eliminating non-functional decorative elements" as our second design principle;
Nostalgia isn't about "borrowing," but rather a reconstruction based on our understanding of past products within the context of current aesthetic and functional needs—this is our third design principle.
In summary, this was a comprehensive balancing act between form design, cost, practicality, and the interplay of classic and contemporary styles.

QC standard
We strive for excellence; however, minor imperfections due to industrial processes are unavoidable. Please note our acceptance criteria:
-
Exterior Standards:
1. Visibility: No machining marks, dents, or scratches at a 30cm distance.
2. Defect limits: Max 0.3mm² area or 1mm length.
3. Finish: Normal machining marks on internal surfaces are acceptable; minor particles on external mirror surfaces are considered normal.
4. Inspection: Valid only under normal viewing angles; specific lighting or angle-dependent flaws are not covered. -
Interior Standards:
1. Finish: Slight machining marks or minor coating unevenness may exist.
2. Attachment points: Standard hanging points from the coloring process are acceptable (must be <1mm² or <3mm in length).
3. Integrity: No obvious dents; scratches must be <3mm in length.
