The "DM..." |

In 2011, the Swiss website rpn-calc.ch presented a calculator in "credit card" format, a clone of the HP-15C.
A Youtube video presents a demonstration of this "bare" calculator.

The HP-15C from the company Hewlett-Packard has not been produced since 1989, much to the dismay of fans of this calculator.
The designer of this "credit card" calculator met Michael Steinmann with whom he later founded SwissMicros. (Registration of 'SwissMicros GmbH' in December 2014)
Marketing of the DM15CC begins with pre-orders from 2011.
But in September 2011 Hewlett Packard released a limited edition of the HP-15C under the title of HP 15C Limited Edition.
David and Michael will then have to diversify their offering by extending it to other models in the "Voyager" range with the DM- 10 and DM-15 (clones of HP-10C and HP-15C).
Then quickly released new versions under the name "Silver edition": DM-11, DM-12, DM-15 and DM-16 (the DM-10 is discontinued).
From 2015 (after the creation of SwissMicros) the "credit card" format will be abandoned and the DM-11L, DM-12L, DM-15L and DM-16L in “Voyager” format.
The DM-41L will then be added, in the same "Voyager" format.
DM41L
Today, clones of HP-32S, HP-42S and HP-41CX are marketed in a "Pioneer" format under the names DM-32, DM-42 and DM41X
