What is the Red Dot Design Award?
The Red Dot Design Award is an internationally recognized quality standard for good design. The award is made competitively in three categories for best practice and innovation in design. The three Red Dot Design Award categories capture the full range of potential design excellence from concept to product, and include branding and communication for products in the marketplace.
- Product design of market-ready industrial products
- Brand & communication design
- Design concept, for prototypes and ready-for-market products
“In search of good design” is the motto of the Red Dot Design Award, and the focus on good design across the three award categories encourages designers and manufacturers as well as brand and marketing professionals to innovate and develop future best practices that have practical applications in the contemporary marketplace.

Innovative metal cutting band saw design
We use focus groups with end users to identify customer preferences and opportunities to improve and refine the user experience of our products. Our design discussions with OEM manufacturing partners provide valuable feedback that enables us to rapidly identify and develop new and innovative features in our metal cutting band saw range.
The IFA consumer electronics fair shows demand for innovations in user interfaces with user-friendly controls, touch screen options, high visibility control panels and easy adjustment of functions as well as improved safety and efficiency. We have integrated all of these as standards or options across our OEM product range.

Functional metal cutting band saws
Functionality is at the core of any metal cutting band saw design. Your saw can be aesthetically designed, reliable, and packed with innovative features, but it needs to achieve the primary purpose of delivering rapid, reliable, accurate cutting of the materials and profiles that your customers want to cut. The controls of the RF-500 semi-auto metal cutting band saw shown above give an example of a clear, user-focused design with universal appeal.
From our most basic portable saws through to our hydraulically powered semi-automated column band saws, every Rong Fu product design starts with a review of the ideal functionality criteria and identifying the best design pathway to achieve the required functionality and features. Functional metal cutting bandsaw accessories are an integral part of our product innovation cycle.

Durable & reliable metal cutting band saws
Metal cutting band saw brand reputation depends on reliability and durability for good customer feedback that increases positive customer referrals and attracts return customers. This is why longevity is one of the three main criteria for the Red Dot Design Awards. We only use the best castings and materials, a benefit of our location in Taiwan, globally recognized for high quality material and engineering standards.
Rong Fu uses the Toyota Production System for efficient quality control and testing of all our metal cutting band saw and mill drill machine products. This enables us to achieve an extremely high level of reliability and consistency across our entire range of OEM workshop machines – each band saw that comes off the production line has exactly the same characteristics, and has been assembled with the same care.
