C.A.T. - The Contact Avoiding Tool

thingiverse

The Contact Avoiding Tool (C.A.T.) enables handsfree shopping, initially designed for supermarket use. Functions include opening doors, typing your PIN-code at checkout, pushing a shopping cart (two prints required), and operating elevator buttons. These features make shopping more efficient. Developed by Swiss mechanical engineering students as part of a project to contribute to the fight against Covid-19, this tool has numerous benefits. Visit their webpage for further information or check out their Instagram account for updates on new features and future add-ons: https://theflufightersoffi.wixsite.com/contactavoidingtool, https://www.instagram.com/the_contact_avoiding_tool/. Help combat Covid-19 by printing this tool for friends and family. A second STL file has been added, offering an enhanced version of the C.A.T. designed specifically for shopping cart use. With a slightly larger diameter circle, this design is ideal for navigating carts with ease. Choose between the two options: one excels at opening doors, while the other shines in cart navigation. Consider printing both for ultimate flexibility.
