Project: INTERACTIVE DEMO UNIT

 

►Project
Description

  • Hypertherm and AXIS partnered to create a multi-faceted demo unit for use in specialty retail locations.

    The product displayed, Hypertherm’s latest innovation for their Powermax cartridge system, streamlined the use process for their customers - turning what once was a five-step process into one step. The demo unit needed to show a side-by-side comparison of both technologies in action with a focus on overall productivity gains and compatibility with existing product lines.
