Digital Mini Scale

Client:
Gram Precision Scales, Inc. - Mississauga, Ontario

Client's Request:
To design and prototype a digital scale that would not be any larger than a specific, very small and popular analog scale available on the market and that would allow for a resolution down to 0.01g.

Overview of KLN's Contribution:
Conceptual and detailed design as well as prototyping of the mini-scale using a cost effective 3D printing technique called FD (Fused Deposition).

Detailed Outcome:
An inexpensive yet accurate measurement principle was identified which has widely been used in industrial measurement equipment. This principle was adapted and the mini-scale designed around components available at cost levels condusive to mass production.

The photos highlight that there are very few parts associated with the product, keeping its cost low. At the same time, auto shut-off, zeroing or taring functions, as well as metric and imperial measurements are being supported.
