In 2021 I worked on a project for Bosch who wanted to create a new and innovated planing machine usefull as a cordless machine. The product will become distinctive and successful in the market, as the Bosch blue line planer is optimized in terms of distinctiveness, compactness and balance.

During the project there has been a lot of sketching. and brainstorming to create innovating and interesting ideas. Bosch allready had a few planing machines on the market. But Bosch wants to create a different kind of planing machine which is different than the allready exsisting planing machines and it should be working on the 1, 2 and 3 layered battery of Bosch. Making the product fit for the 3 layered battery was the biggest issue during the engineering process of this product.

In terms of compactness, the focus lies on fitting the battery pack inside the housing making the design distinctive. In terms of balance, the focus is on organizing the components within the housing efficiently, so that the planer is well balanced when planing in different positions.
