Creating a Flexible and Comfortable Personal Care Device
An inside look at how Zaic Design engineered a flexible, comfortable, and high-performing personal care device through rapid prototyping and innovation.
Automation
Case Study: Transforming Robotic Laser Welding and Assembly
When a critical laser welding and assembly system began to fail, Zaic Design stepped in to solve the problem. But we didn’t just restore functionality—we improved precision and automated capabilities beyond the original design. Learn how our innovative approach turned a complex challenge into a success.
Automation
Case Study: From Mess to Mastery – Smarter Paste Milling
Zaic Design was approached by an international conglomerate with headquarters in Germany to tackle significant challenges with their paste milling process in their Pennsylvania plant.
Paste milling is a process used to grind and mix paste materials into a fine consistency. This process is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing and pharmaceuticals where precise mixing and grinding are crucial.
Automation
Case Study: Automating Solar System Header Production
Our client, the largest U.S. manufacturer of low- and intermediate-temperature polymer solar thermal heating systems, faced significant inefficiencies in their production process.
To provide some context for the application: each solar heating panel assembly consists of a flat, extruded plastic panel with numerous small tubes for water circulation.
Automation
Case Study: Precious Metallic Paste Dispensing
Our client faced critical challenges with manually jarring a highly viscous paste filled with precious metals. This method was not only inefficient but also resulted in significant material loss. Given the high value and unique properties of this paste, the client sought to automate the process to improve precision and reduce waste.

Collaborative Robot Integration
A few years ago, Zaic Design teamed up with Enterprise Color Solutions to deliver a turnkey automation system to one of our clients. Here is a brief summary of that project. Case Study: Problem: >20,000 measurement data points needed for a new research and development effort. Each measurement required a Read more…

SpectraVision V: Designing Around Gravity
Last year we received a series of fixture design requests centered around one user question: How to hold small slippery objects in mid-air for color measurement. While investigating this design task one fact was immediately obvious: A loosely held object could slip and fall directly into the measurement chamber of Read more…

Magazine Layout that Keeps Readers Hooked
When we first received the call to design a magazine targeted at the Textile and Apparel industry, we were intimidated. Our client wanted to break away from their usual corporate design language and move toward a more flashy and playful aesthetic. As the world leader in color measurement science, Datacolor Read more…
