The Dot

The Dot is designed to curb dogs' destructive tendencies by administering small electric currents or beeping warnings when they approach prohibited areas. Made from Nylon plastic, Butyl Rubber, Aluminum, and Stainless Steel screws, The Dot features a lightweight puck-shaped assembly with a proximity sensor that can be attached to collars or adhered to surfaces using an acrylic-based elastomer. Its simple design allows for easy battery replacement and reduces scarring, rubbing, and puncture on the dog's collar. Using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing, The Dot can contain complex features that regular plastic molding cannot achieve while also reducing costs and production time without compromising strength or durability.
