03. Eco-design

We make sustainability our priority

We help brands to have a better Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), through the reduction of their environmental impact. Through eco design rules and life cycle analysis (ACV), we can make objects more simple, that last longer and that make more sense for their target user.

05. CAD modeling

We 3D models complex shapes

Our team delivers surface, parametric or polygonal 3D models, meeting the highest level of the industry standards. We blend the concept sketching intention with the manuacturing requirements.

Nous maîtrisons la modélisation polygonal en vue de réaliser des animations 3D avancées, comme sur de la chaussure pour MAMMUT
La qualité de modélisation surfacique est notre priorité dans le cadre d'un produit à industrialiser, notamment sur des cadres de vélos carbone.

06. rapid prototyping

We make them real

Our design process is designed to assist our clients in their decision-making. Thanks to our in-house 3D printer, we can quickly produce rapid prototypes to evaluate, test, and visualize physical models firsthand.

Next, we handle the preparation of the aesthetic models.

07. creative engineering

We develop smart system

From existing patents analysis to test protocol implementation, we’re very much used to creating new systems, or adapting them to fulfill real uses. We dimension the mechanisms in your products to make it as light and performant as it should be, with a strong R&D support.

08. industrialization

Seamless factory transfert

Our R&D services delivers tooling-ready 3D files that include all the manufacturing constraints of our client’s suppliers, with a smart design-to-cost approach.

We incorporate a "design-to-cost" approach to optimize production costs and cycle times. Kairn can also connect you with its own network of suppliers and manufacturers for specific products.

09. Textile design

We also develop technical textile products.

Nous appliquons notre approche de designer produit également sur la conception de sacs à dos et produits textile, avec un focus sur la fonctionnalité et le confort d’usage, et un accompagnement adapté aux itérations par le prototypage.
