Case Study: IRIDEX cuts manufacturing costs and modernizes its laser system with StudioRed

IRIDEX reduces manufacturing costs by 20% with StudioRed

IRIDEX, a laser ophthalmology company, needed to modernize its aging retina laser system and reduce its manufacturing costs by 20% while being unable to change its core, expensive laser component. With limited internal engineering resources, they turned to their long-term partner, StudioRed, for engineering and product design services to achieve this high-stakes task.

StudioRed engineered a new enclosure using efficient sheet metal designs and cost-effective components, while also implementing a clever color-coding system for product variants. The solution achieved a 20% reduction in manufacturing costs, streamlined the assembly process, and significantly improved product serviceability. StudioRed's work also modernized the system's aesthetic and user interface, enabling IRIDEX to accelerate its time to market and strengthen its brand identity.
