Solution

DMC developed software which allows engineers to design the head pattern for the bristles on industrial brushes. Basic brush patterns can be generated by specifying parameters such a slope angle, bristle density, section width, and stagger type. These patterns can then be edited manually to add, remove, or relocate individual points. After the patterns are generated, they can be downloaded to a brush generation system which manufactures the brush.
