ECOS Paints Can Lid Tool

This specialized transit ring opener was custom-designed and 3D printed exclusively for ECOS Paints to solve a common challenge in the paint industry - the difficult removal of plastic transit rings that secure gallon paint can lids during shipping and storage. Our ergonomic tool design features optimized leverage points and grip surfaces that make ring removal quick and effortless, reducing hand strain and potential injuries for paint store employees and contractors. We designed it to perfectly fit in within the lid ring during transit and be easily removed upon receipt. The durable 3D printed construction ensures long-lasting performance in demanding commercial environments while maintaining the precision needed for consistent operation across different paint can manufacturers. This successful collaboration with ECOS Paints demonstrates our ability to identify practical industry problems and deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions through custom 3D printing and design engineering.
