9. SELECTED WORKS

10. Pensar worked with the Fluke team to design three new Laser Distance Meters
(LDMs), the 414D, 419D, and 424D. We created a modern visual language that
embraces Fluke's design heritage.

11. ENGINEERING BEAUTY
SURFACE
Pensar helped Microsoft’s New Product Innovation group bring
Surface to life. We are proud of our contributions, including the
easy alignment and solid feel of the touch cover and it's
connection to Surface. Our prowess in tolerance analysis turned
Surface into a high precision machine with just the right feel.

12. ENHANCING THE DIGITAL
DEVICE EXPERIENCE
Gunnar Optiks creates eyewear to alleviate
fatigue associated with long hours behind a
screen. The lenses provide slight magnification
combined with a yellow tint that mitigates strain
from florescent bulbs.
Gunnar asked Pensar to design styles that would
be appropriate for both genders and build on
their tech-driven identity.

13. REFINEMENT
Details are honed through graphic illustrations and 3D
renderings. We work with the Gunnar team and their
manufacturers to make sure the fine points are realized.

14. DELIVER
We make sure our clients cross the finish line
strong. Pensar is a responsive development
partner you can trust to come through with
stellar results.

15. FULL-THROTTLE
ENGINEERING
Microsoft chose Pensar as the sole
mechanical integration and detail partner for
the new Xbox console, from the ground up.
100% of the mechanical design, mechanical
system integration, and execution was done
by the Pensar team. A few key contributions
include:
+ Design for high-volume manufacturing
(20M+ ARU)
+ Key contributions to the thermal system
design and execution
+ Full ownership of CAD data, production
model structure, and details
+ System shock and vibration analysis,
mitigation, solution definition and
execution
+ Jealous guarding of Industrial Design
intent and details
+ In-depth interaction with tooling design
and detailed part manufacturing
+ Ownership of manufacturing tooling for
inspection and assembly
+ Deep involvement in qualification and
testing process of all parts to the full
system

16. ILLUMINATING THOSE AT RISK
SHINING A LIGHT ON ONE OF THE TOUGHEST JOBS
ILLUMAGEAR’s first product is The Halo Light™, a patent-pending 360º light system worn at head-level that
produces a halo of light around the wearer enabling him or her to see and be seen in all directions at all times,
especially in low light conditions. Pensar is providing Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design and Mechanical
Engineering on this exciting project. Stay tuned for updates in the future.

17. REVITALIZING PRODUCTS BY
LISTENING TO USER NEEDS
Pensar redesigned the Quinton Q-Stress. When paired with a treadmill, it
measures the heart’s ability to respond to external stress. Due to it’s stellar
performance Q-Stress is considered to be the gold standard of the industry.
The new Q-Stress features improved cable management, flexibility to
incorporate new devices, low tooling cost, and aesthetics designed to stand
the test of time in a tough clinical environment.

that unifies several product lines with
one consistent look and feel.

21. PHILIPS SONICARE
SONIC TOOTHBRUSHES
Pensar EE managed embedded electrical design and
firmware of new products as well as cost-reduction
initiatives to streamline high volume (4.5 M/year)
overseas production of Philips’ Sonicare toothbrushes.
Pensar was instrumental in developing MEMS orientation
sensing, wireless power transfer and charge control, and
test and measurement equipment for product
optimization, manufacturing, and performance testing.

22. WE UNDERSTAND THE TRADE-OFFS
INVOLVED IN BALANCING RISK AND
INNOVATION.
SKILLSET, HORSEPOWER, INNOVATION, SCHEDULE
Pensar brings the horsepower to complete projects on schedule, the skill-
set to handle as much of the development process as needed, and the
innovation to find solutions to your toughest problems. By knitting design
and engineering together, we take ideas further, faster- giving our clients
consumer-driven, manufacturing-minded designs under tight schedules.
RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
We deliver on our promises. We take responsibility for every part of the
project we are tasked with. No one likes to think anything will go wrong
with the development of a new product, but the fact is, sometimes it does.
That’s when having a consultant you trust becomes the most important
thing in the world. We always have our client’s goals in mind and will do
whatever it takes to get the job done. Our clients return again and again
because of this.
ON-TIME, ON-BUDGET
Your bottom line is our most important line. To maximize the profit a
product release generates, it is critical to get a fully-functioning product to
market when expected. We know what it takes to get a product that
delights customers delivered to market on schedule.

23. WE MAKE IDEAS REAL
