We drew on what we already knew from designing Ollin Laptop and Tablet Mount. And by reusing existing prototype parts to build test rigs for our new Lima design, we made the process even more efficient. Which meant it was more cost efficient too.

Minimising the part count helped us minimise the end cost. And we never wanted to compromise the high performance our products are known for, so it was a fine balancing act of performance and price when we chose which materials to use for the parts.

The existing sheet steel platform for Lima Monitor Arm is stable and reliable. But because mounting a laptop is more complex, the new platform had to be longer and would use more material. We knew that this was necessary expense: the high performance justified its usage.

Another price versus performance challenge involved the adjustable laptop retainers from Ollin Laptop and Tablet Mount. They were ideal for our new Lima product, but their high quality was reflected in the price. Determined to deliver our usual high standard, we worked round this by sharing parts and increasing manufacture volumes so that we could use the best possible materials while keeping production costs as low as possible.
