Kobalt 24-Volt 8 Inch Hedge Trimmer

Production grade A-surface geometry development.

In coordination with Kobalt’s Industrial Design and Engineering teams, Rute Design took on the task of developing the A-Surface CAD geometry for the Kobalt 24 Volt 8 Inch Hedge Trimmer.

This project involved translating 2D design drawings into precise 3D surface geometry that integrated seamlessly with the fixed internals provided by the engineering team. Operating within a mixed software environment, Rute Design meticulously crafted the production-ready A-surface geometry using SolidWorks. Leveraging the parametric modeling capabilities of SolidWorks ensured adaptability as the engineering files evolved throughout the development stages.

The Hedge Trimmer’s geometry showcases our ability to model with exacting precision, adhering closely to brand language standards, and seamlessly blending complex geometry with ergonomic surfacing.
