You race to the TV and reach over to the spot where your remote control always is\u2026well, almost always is. You snag, what you believe to be the remote and pointing it to the TV you press the <em>power<\/em> button to find the remote isn\u2019t what\u2019s in your hand. Someone moved it!<\/p>\n<p>In this short video, Bertrand Sicot experiences this very situation but this time decides to take measures into trusted hands by asking for a little help from the new SOLIDWORKS CEO Gian Paolo \u201cGP\u201d Bassi to create a more permanent solution to this everyday problem: the missing television remote control.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g4kjNxz9sxM\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For Bertrand and Gian Paolo to model the remote from scratch along with a housing device would have taken a lot of time. Instead, they used a Nikon 3D scanner to get the exact shape of the remote, imported the mesh into SOLIDWORKS, and then designed a movable locking enclosure around the remote so that it can never be lost again. And with the ever presence of 3D printers, Bertrand requested to have the concept printed instead of manufactured to get an idea of where he wants to go with the concept.
