EXOvault Mouse

A piece of functional sculpture. Technically superior and wonderful to hold.

 
 
 
 

Designed in Solidworks every detail was considered. It’s a very comprhensive model complete with PCB component parts.

 

Extensive rendering was done allowing us to fully understand the details before we started making physical samples.

 

I was able to work through iterations quickly through renderings before prototyping.

 

The wood we used was just sublime.

 

Working with an electrical engineer we designed the PCBA. The process is exacting and really very wonderful.

 

All major parts where CNC cut from solid materials.

 

I’m always amazed at the beauty and complexity of the modern printed circuit board.

 

I love seeing so many parts together.

 

We polished and plated the mice with Gold and Rhodium.

 

New parts back from the platers.

 

An extensive team was required for assembly.

 

Stepper motor driver dials give mouse battery level and connection details.

 

Our shop invaded by thousands of fully grown mice.
