V1 - Exploration

Starting with broad concepts to establish the fundamentals. Exploring basic components and combining geometric forms to define initial directions.

V2 - Adding Constrains

Adding real product constraints from research to reposition and refine each component. Establishing flow, proportions, and overall structure.

V5 - Volume Lock

Further refinement based on real-world constraints such as battery size and internal volume, locking in the core mass and proportions.

V6 - Final Form

Refining and massaging the form to better align with HOTO’s design language, emphasizing clear geometric hierarchy and a monolithic style.

Minimal UI

A simple layout with two buttons: one for power and speed control of the sander, and another for the front light.

Speed indicators

A user-friendly system with clear indicators to communicate three speed settings: 7000 RPM, 10000 RPM, and 12000 RPM.

Surface check light

Learning from user observation, the sander incorporates a powerful front light to aid user when inspecting the sanded surface.

Hook and Loop pad

The sander includes a Hook and Loop system, designed to make the sanding process effortless and user-friendly.
