SmartyPlants is a smart sensor designed to simplify plant care. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, we supported the team through the Plus X Accelerator, providing design for manufacture (DFM) expertise and preparing the product for production.
Design for Manufacture
Model Making
Concept Visualisation
Technological Development
Packaging
Working with manufacturers, we refined the existing industrial design into a fully injection-mouldable housing, resolving DFM constraints and ensuring manufacturability at scale.
Physical prototyping enabled early-stage product photography, supporting investor communications and enhancing the clarity of design intent.
Throughout the development of the sensor, we produced high-fidelity visuals to communicate design progress. These assets were used to maintain engagement with the Kickstarter backers.
We developed packaging to protect the product during international shipping, prioritising simplicity and sustainability while ensuring an enjoyable unboxing experience.
"Studio Matter played a critical role in bridging the gap between prototyping and manufacturing. Their expertise in design and development was instrumental in helping us secure investment and navigate the challenges that followed our Kickstarter campaign."
