Development of an innovative elevator control button assembly

Right Angle Metal Fabricators Inc.

Right Angle is looking to expand its market share by launching its own product, a unique elevator control button assembly. The project consists of designing and building a novel prototype to be integrated into the partner’s elevator control panel. The project consists of developing a new component (button-integrated circuit combination) for elevator control panels. The project will go from concept, detailed mechanical and electronic drawings, to building a prototype. A pilot manufacturing run at RAMF facilities has been cancelled due to the retricted functionality of prototypes created using GBC’s 3D printer. Funds for pilot manufacturing assistance have been re-allocated to allow the GBC team to source prototyping services to deliver a fully functional version of their prototype.
