Case Study

“Klaatu”, the latest guidance device for planes, trucks and earthmoving equipment, required a new more practical hardworking exterior.


Nurtured and delivered by a close partnership between Trimble’s NZ Mechanical Design Team and Talbot Technologies. Klaatu features advanced polymers and clever co-moulding to give a high impact, water proof exterior, EMF shielding and heat dissipation.
