Light weight Peli Case with all new PP construction
Launched 2014. Designed at Therefore Ltd
Innovative new luggage range for this global leader in high-performance protective cases. Aimed at the consumer it was designed to be significantly lighter than a traditional Peli Case, but still built to last a lifetime.
My Project Role:
- Design engineering
- 3D CAD – tool ready
- Conceptualise many unique features
- Styling details
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) liaison
- Prototyping
I took the initial sketch concept and developed it into a practical design, working prototypes and fully detailed design for manufacture (DFM)
Three different sizes were designed simultaneously. To achieve this most efficiently I built them all from one re-sizeable CAD model. This is a KeyShot CAD render of the smallest case:
Numerous innovations were developed, such as a new latch system, double hinge, locking mechanism, and wheel axles:
The cases were finely proportioned so they can be nested together:
Finished product launched 2014:
