The Creation
The idea
BESSEY wanted to celebrate the company's 135th anniversary and offer fans around the world something very special. After some brainstorming, it was clear; take our classic malleable cast iron screw clamp, also known as the F-clamp, and give it an exclusive upgrade.
The First Sketches
The sketches of the top parts of our anniversary clamp show our dedication to detail. The slim design and the fine reinforcements have been perfected. Each line is carefully thought out to maximize aesthetics and functionality. These sketches were the first step towards a tool that combines tradition and modernity.
The Development
The implementation and construction were carried out with the highest precision. From the first draft to final production, our experienced developers carefully oversaw every step.
The Prototype
The prototype was created using the latest 3D printing technology. This step made it possible to test the slim design and fine bracing. Using 3D printing also allowed us to test the fit and functionality of each component of the clamp. This innovative approach accelerated development, ensured quality, and helped find the perfect balance between aesthetics and function.
The Production
Finally, all components are assembled in production using the most modern techniques. What sets BESSEY apart; every malleable iron screw clamp that leaves our assembly machines is thoroughly checked for quality control before packaging. BESSEY stands for the highest tool quality and longevity.
