Project Background

As Southeast Asian consumers’ attention to oral health continues to rise, the electric toothbrush market is experiencing rapid growth. Singapore, an important economic hub in the region, sees particularly high demand for high-quality electric toothbrushes. However, standing out in this fiercely competitive market has become a challenge for every brand. Against this backdrop, our team was entrusted by a Singapore-based client to design and develop a high-performance electric toothbrush.

Electric Toothbrush Solution

In response to the client’s market challenges and product requirements, our team formulated the following solutions:

  1. Design: We integrated Southeast Asian cultural characteristics and aesthetic preferences into a sleek and stylish electric toothbrush design. The product’s exterior features a streamlined design with a refreshing color palette that both appeals to local consumers’ taste and highlights the product’s uniqueness.

  2. Waterproofing and Dust Resistance: To fulfill the client’s need for waterproofing and dust resistance, we employed IPX7 waterproof design and special dust-resistant materials, ensuring the product’s stable performance in various usage environments.

  3. Mechanical Structure Design: We optimized the product’s mechanical structure to achieve a high vibration frequency while minimizing noise and vibrations, enhancing the user’s experience. Additionally, we provided detailed requirements and guidance for mold development to ensure production quality and cost control.
