Apawtiser
Treat Cutters
brief
We were approached by small business Apawtiser, a local company here in Sheffield that produces handmade, hypoallergenic dog treats. They wanted our help to design some templates for their treat cutters to cut production time and be ready to manufacture.
We designed the CAD for some alternating cookie cutter trays that were ready for manufacture. This cut their production time in half and saw their processes become more efficient so customer orders could be fulfilled in less time. Food-safe materials were sourced and confirmed to be suitable for the CAD design.
To ensure that the cookie cutters would work as intended, we quickly sourced and produced prototypes to validate sizes and thickness which we confirmed with our client.
As well as this, we carried out research to source food-safe materials that the trays could be manufactured with.
Initially, we found the trays had too many heart shapes so the dough mixture was getting stuck and not functioning properly. From this, we tweaked the design so it could alternate without friction. This meant waste was reduced from the dough used.
