C.A.T. - The Contact Avoiding Tool

The C.A.T., the Contact Avoiding Tool is designed to enable handsfree shopping, initially designed for use whilst in the supermarket. The functions include opening doors and typing your PIN-code at checkout, as well as pushing your shopping cart (you will have to print two to use this function) and pushing buttons in elevators amongst other useful functions.

The tool was developed by a group of mechanical engineering students based in Switzerland with a project task to contribute actively to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

In addition to the stl-file, look up the groups webpage for further explanations or their Instagram account for the newest updates and possible future add-ons for the tool:

Help us to actively combat Covid-19 and print this tool for friends and family!

-NEW-
A second stl-file has been added. It is very similar to the first product, but for enhanced use with shopping carts, as the diameter of one of the circles has been made a little bigger. Choose which C.A.T. you want to use, the first is a little bit better for opening doors, the second for shopping carts. As most of the tool stays the same, you could even print both!
