MIX Workstations — System Engineering
I developed the engineering and manufacturing documentation for MIX, a configurable workstation system designed by Ben Hopkins.
The challenge was managing combinations of desk widths, leg styles, finishes, screens, and accessories while keeping components and production information consistent. My work included parametric SolidWorks configurations, component simplification, variable-dimension drawing templates, and configuration-specific CAD packages for manufacture.
