The skills and expertise of Sonatest in partnership with LA Design impressed the 37-strong jury of industry experts who judged the ‘red dot award: product design awards in 2013’ with the partners’ Prisma ultrasonic flaw detector coming out on top. This year the red dot competition received 4,662 entries in 19 different categories. Designed for non-invasive material testing in the most extreme environments; the Prisma incorporates advanced real-time imaging and 3D scanning, making flaw interpretation much easier, therefore reducing technician time on site. Professor Dr Peter Zec, initiator and CEO of the red dot, pointed out that strong design competence and economic success nowadays go hand in hand: “The winners of the ‘red dot award: product design 2013’ are the protagonists of a highly-developed design culture and design industry.” www.sonatest.com
