From idea to impact
At ABID | Alexander Bannink Industrial Design, ideas are set in motion. Sometimes that starts with a fast hand-drawn sketch, sometimes with AI, digital concept sketching on Wacom, CAD, VR or directly from the 3D printer.
Always with the same goal: a design that makes sense, inspires and adds beauty — human-made design that works.
The DCI methodology – Design · Create · Inspire – forms the backbone: from industrial design from sketch to prototype to real-world validation.
We translate vision into strategy, draw dozens of sketches to explore direction, build digital 3D models in Rhino and Fusion 360 and create tangible prototypes to test and validate decisions.
Industrial design with a human hand and digital precision — products that accelerate innovation and create lasting impact.
