K2 Freeride Ski Pole

The Pillar Design team has been working diligently with K2 Ski for sometime now and they just released the freeride ski grip that we assisted in developing with them. This complex 3D model has some mind blowing surface modeling. It is a 3 piece over-molded grip with some very intense texture treatments and complex ergonomic surfaces. We built a few different versions of this model using SolidWorks 2013. The asymmetrical shaping on this product was a definite challenge, but the product turned out very good and close to our initial concepts.

Rhino Rig Gear

The Pillar Design team in Seattle WA. team up with Rhino Gear to develop the world class new Rhino Rig. This system is absolutely amazing, we had a chance to rapid prototype and CNC machined a sample to check the ergonomics, balance, functionality and weight. This project was about 4 months in development, but as you can see we have something to all be very proud of. This versatile rig system will allow professional photographers to fully dial in their rig for their specific shot or film with smooth balance and high accuracy. This complex 3D assembly is a combination of tool-less adjustment and ergonomic
