Our client had a downstream gasket installation process that was compromising performance and causing safety, ergonomic, and employee morale issues. We custom designed a single component, easy-to-use installation tool that could be 3D printed. After rapid prototyping and testing, a final series of these tools was put into low volume production in a variety of sizes and is being used in all of the client manufacturing locations.
