Design Firm Makes Handy Use of High-tech Tools

Design Firm Makes Handy Use of High-tech Tools

Bresslergroup recently designed the next generation of CleanCut, a touchless paper towel holder that can dispense and cut any length of paper towel with the wave of a hand. Bresslergroup redesigned the inventor’s prototype to optimize the appliance for high volume, low cost manufacturing. The design firm used SolidWorks 3D solid modeling software throughout the project processes.

According to Dave Schiff, director of the Bresslergroup’s engineering department, “SolidWorks software was key to the project. The benefits of 3D CAD are rapid turnaround from on-screen images to solid prototypes, rapid concept iterations, kinematic analysis, and FEA analysis to simulate performance before prototypes are built.
