The first concept for the pin entry device & payment terminal project explored the idea of a single curvature top surface design in two products built over a modular basis.
​
Two products with three different modules: the pin-pad unit, the pin-pad back end assembly and the thermal printer unit.
Modularity would allow the standard pin-pad unit to become a payment terminal by adding the thermal printer unit. The first would easily be transformed in the other by an add-on module. It sounded just fine until tooling cost eventually determined a different building concept: two products sharing a lot of components.
Plastic wise there are two products, while the keyboard, motherboard, monitor and card readers are the very same in both.
​
The single curvature top surface on both products is meant to allow advertising and customization with cut-out stickers.
