Carbon MKII
by Carbon Mobile
Project Details
The revolutionary carbon fiber smartphone. where German engineering perfection and cutting-edge material innovation collide to unlock the future of mobile technology
The Carbon MK II is the first smartphone in the world to feature a carbon fiber monobody, enabling the device to be the thinnest Android smartphone device on the market in 2024. The carbon fiber consists of multi 1K and 3K ultra-thin filaments. When woven together, nothing can compete for lightweight strength. The design is lighter than aluminium and even more resistant to drop damage.
Responsibilities
Industrial Design
3D design - shape and physical UI studies
Prototyping - Proof of concept designs, “looks like, works like” model making.
Design for manufacture - Final A-class surfacing and mechanical design CAD references.
Packaging Design
Retail box craft-card and paperpulp tray packaging design
Documentation - instructions and quick-start guide
Visualisation
Marketing renders
Innovative Material Technology
In order to integrate the device antennas, the enginners created HyRECM (Hybrid Radio Enabled Composite Material) a process which forges carbon fibers with a complementary composite material with radio signal properties. The result is a carbon-fiber based monocoque structure that is incredibly thin, light and completely connected.
