“Swan”
1.7L
Kettle
One of many kettles on sale
around the world, originating
from our Studio sketch pads!
As the name suggests, the aesthetic
oozes a tranquil vibe, whilst the
powerful underfloor element does
the business, boiling water efficiently.
The optics of the water windows
allow the user to view the water level
during filling and pouring.
The design process for this kettle was
typical of the many projects
commissioned by Otter controls.
After selection from initial 2d concept
sketches, we quickly move into
3d, using Solidworks CAD to
define the water volume and
conform to other design criteria
required by the client, such as -:
element clearance, minimum
window water level, steam tube
geometry, water volume: steam
ratio, and optimizing the
shipping box height for the
target market country.
Finally we release 3d cad data,
with a solid cad assembly, fully
drafted suitable for production
tooling, including ‘A’ surface
specification .
