Creative Engineering 
A robotics manufacturer was finding it difficult to ship their warehouse robot both domestically and overseas due to issues with load balancing. Solution: Using 3-D renderings and CNC technology, the engineers at LPC were able to create precision packaging that provided an extra protective casing for international handling while a slightly slimmer unit was successfully designed for domestic use. 

Innovation and Precision
The design of a hotel butler robot was particularly complex. The skin and skeletal features were easily damaged during transit. Solution: The robotics company provided LPC’s engineers with a 3-D model of the robot making it possible to cut protective, precision designs while also allowing the company to view the robot within the actual packaging.  

Flexible Design Capability 
A teleconferencing robot contained multiple features including audio and visual parts that were frequently updated. Solution: LPC crafted a protective generic design that also easily accommodated modifications as needed. The conferencing system included a display stand for a monitor and laptop – all of which LPC was able to place into a single, manageable case.
